Mission & Vision

Mission: Helmholtz: Sustainable research shapes the future. The mission of the Helmholtz Association is research that contributes significantly to answering major and pressing questions of science, society and industry. Our researchers focus on systems of high complexity that affect people and the environment: They take a holistic approach, engaging in basic research, but also quickly bringing innovative solutions into practice. This involves, for example, securing mobility and energy supplies, preserving an intact environment for future generations, or finding therapies for previously incurable diseases. Helmholtz is Germany’s largest research organisation and pools its strengths in 6 research fields: Energy; Earth and Environment; Health; Information; Aeronautics; Space and Transport; and Matter. Vision: We provide answers to the big questions of our time and develop solutions for the future; 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 together in our 18 research centers. They use globally unique research infrastructures and cutting-edge technologies and are supported by an efficient infrastructure and modern research management, to achieve these goals. The name Helmholtz stands for sustainable research, which presupposes networking as a principle for thinking and acting in research. Sustainable and concerted research is powerful and flexible. With it, Helmholtz pursues the goal of creating viable foundations for shaping the world of tomorrow.
