Helmholtz Characteristics Programme funding Strategic evaluation Competition and cooperation Broad range of competencies Large and attractive infrastructures

Strategic significance of the programme; scientific, societal and economic relevance -Significance for Helmholtz aims -Role in national, European and international programmes -Cooperation and networking with German and foreign scientific partners (“concerted research”) -Promotion of young scientists and equal opportunities for women - Innovation potential

Helmholtz activities in the 6th FP -Office in Brussels -Support for preparations of proposals 171 coordinators for NoE or IP 31 Polish groups known to be involved -Planned: to integrate the funds of the Marie Curie Programme in order to enhance the mobility of our young researchers

Currently used Instruments -Bilateral projects mainly through STC means (DESY, DLR, FZJ, GSI) 19 STC projects with a main focus in nuclear and particle physics as well as aeronautics research -Networks - nationally, EU, or UNESCO funded (FZK, DLR, GFZ, GKSS) f.e. International Continental Drilling Programme or Flood monitoring of the Oder or the Pierre- Auger Project Scientific focus on geo- and environmental sciences and energy research

DESY: Longstanding Polish Cooperation Contribution to the construction of HERA -strong Polish involvement in HERA-experiments, f.e. ZEUS -since 1984 there are constantly visiting scientists per year 7 of the 45 collaborating TESLA partners are polish institutions Usage of Electron-Positron Storage Ring DORIS

-Partners in international teams: contribution to development and use of large scale equipment DESY: HERA, DORIS, TESLA GSI: Zukunftsprojekt, HADES, RISING Project -Exchange of guest scientists and graduate students About 200 guest scientists and 36 graduate students Cooperation with Polish groups: currently used Instruments
