About Forschungszentrum Jülich

We want to get young people excited about science and support them in the best possible way. They are the discoverers, idea generators and shapers of tomorrow’s society. Our goal is to attract the best minds in international competition, because diversity enables progress, creativity and opens up new perspectives.

The research centre wants to be a magnet for outstanding scientists, for talented young researchers and for professional supporters of research in administration and infrastructure.

With almost 6,800 employees, it is one of the largest interdisciplinary research centres in Europe. It is a member of the Helmholtz Association. Open, responsible and with vision, our campus is a good place for inspiring exchange between people from all over the world.

Forschungszentrum Jülich works together with numerous partners from science and industry at the national and international level and does so to the benefit of all involved.

Among the scientifically and strategically most important partners at the moment are RWTH Aachen University, the French Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives (CEA), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the USA and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in China.

Together with RWTH Aachen University, Forschungszentrum Jülich established the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA) in 2007. JARA is the only cooperative model between a university and non-university research institution in the whole of Germany.

It is funded as part of the Excellence Initiative of the German Federal Government and the federal states. By means of JARA, Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University want to create synergy effects between university and non-university research.

The topics of the five JARA sections are: brain research (JARA-BRAIN), energy research (JARA-ENERGY), basic physical research (JARA-FAME), information technology (JARA-FIT) and soft matter research (JARA-SOFT).

Since 2018, the research sections have been complemented by the JARA Center for Simulation and Data Science (JARA-CSD), which emerged from the JARA-HPC section and focuses on simulation and data science. In addition, the cooperation comprises JARA-institutes founded jointly at the Research Centre Jülich and RWTH.

The four JARA institutes launched in 2016 are located in the JARA-FIT and JARA-BRAIN sections. Two each with a focus on information and brain research.

Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich cooperate with various universities through numerous projects – whenever expertise can be be brought together to create ideal partnerships. In addition to JARA, Forschungszentrum Jülich also maintains strong alliances with other regional partner universities, in particular the Rhineland universities of Bonn, Cologne, and Düsseldorf.

Within the framework of the Research Alliance Cologne, Cologne University is working on long-term perspectives for collaboration across all topics with regional non-university cooperation partners. Joint strategy development and support for young scientists are important concerns of the alliance, of which Forschungszentrum Jülich is also a member.

In the Bioeconomy Science Center (BioSC), RWTH Aachen University, Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf, the University of Bonn, and Forschungszentrum Jülich pool their research activities in the field of bioeconomy. In this centre of excellence, the partners are developing integrative solution approaches to sustainably produce and further process biomass as part of a biomass-based value-adding chain.

Forschungszentrum Jülich networks closely with neighbouring universities. Early-career scientists thus benefit from the systematically structured PhD programmes.
