Mission & Goals
The mission of the Helmholtz Association is research that contributes significantly to answering major and pressing questions of science, society and industry. Our scientists focus on systems of high complexity that affect people and the environment. This involves, for example, securing mobility and energy supplies, preserving an intact environment for future generations, or finding therapies for previously incurable diseases. The work of the Helmholtz aims to secure the basis of human life in the long term and to create the technological basis for a competitive economy. Excellent scientists work in the 18 research centers, using globally unique research infrastructures, to achieve these goals. Helmholtz pools and combines its strengths in six research fields: Energy; Earth and Environment; Health; Information; Aeronautics; Space and Transport; and Matter.
