In order to build the future we must have the courage to think out of the box. Prof. Dr. Günther Wess CEO Helmholtz Zentrum München
The Helmholtz Zentrum München is a focal point of metabolic research and biomedical development. From this position we are seeking to attract the world’s best scientists, and we are setting standards in the promotion of the young generation of researchers. Scientific excellence and exemplary training are reflected in the top rankings for publication performance and grant acquisition. With currently 18 grants of the European Research Council (ERC), it is the leader in the Helmholtz Association. Helmholtz Zentrum München is made up of 48 scientific institutes and autonomous research units. It is a research institution of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Free State of Bavaria.

Just about everything about the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus is different. Outstanding international scientists from multiple disciplines will be provided with unprecedented resources to work closely together under one roof and transfer innovative strategies for earlier diagnosis, prevention and improved treatment of metabolic disease.
We eliminate administrative and teaching duties for scientists. We offer internal funding and access to world-class lab services. We give scientists time to ask the hard questions that others haven’t been able to ask, and we enable them to talk to each other to find answers.
Research for Grand Challenges Helmholtz Zentrum München is part of HELMHOLTZ, Germany’s largest scientific organization. Altogether, 38.000 people currently work in its 18 scientific-technical and biological-medical research centers. The Association’s annual budget amounts to more than 3.8 billion Euros.
