Open Access: Webinar for Helmholtz Ph.D. students
As part of the international Open Access Week 2014, a series of events around the World will help canvass and inform about open access to knowledge.
On October 20 and 24, 2014, the Helmholtz Open Science coordination office will be offering a webinar on open access foundations entitled „Science is open: an introduction to open access“
Ph.D. students from the various Helmholtz centers are cordially invited to log on from their desks to learn about open access and open science and discuss relevant issues as part of an online livechat.

- Excellent work-life balance continuesOn 17 June 2025, the certificates for the ‘berufundfamilie’ audit were awarded in Berlin. HZB received an award with distinction for its long-standing efforts to promote a work environment that supports work-life balance. The audit is regarded as a seal of quality for the systematic design of family- and life-phase-conscious HR policies.
