Helmholtz Visiting Researcher Grant
Are you a doctoral researcher or Postdoc and your research has a strong link to (applied) data and information sciences?
The Helmholtz Visiting Researcher Grant offers doctoral students and Postdocs the opportunity to do a fully-funded short-term research stay (1 – 3 months) at one of the 18 Helmholtz Centres. Just apply and come to HZB!
Applications will be accepted from national or international research organisations, universities or the private sector. The programme is promoted by HIDA, the Helmholtz Information and Data Science Academy. Its aim is to enable new research collaborations, foster knowledge exchange, and explore new or emerging research topics in the field of information and data sciences.
The programme addresses researchers in both academia and industry. It offers researchers the opportunity to get to know the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres.
Next application round: 15 January - 15 March, 2023

- Postdocs at HZB: Crucial for research, innovation and diversityAt HZB, 117 postdocs from 29 countries are employed. They play a crucial role in driving the main research activities, fostering creativity and innovation. To honor them, the Postdoc Appreciation Week was first organised in the USA in 2009 and has in the meantime become a regular event in Germany as well in the third week of September every year.
- 13 trainees start their careers at HZBA new phase of life began for 13 young people on 2 September: HZB welcomed five new trainees, six students on dual study programmes and two participants in a Voluntary Year of Science. They all are starting their careers with great anticipation.
- SpinMagIC: 'EPR on a chip' ensures quality of olive oil and beerThe first sign of spoilage in many food products is the formation of free radicals, which reduces the shelf-life and the overall quality of the food. Until now, the detection of these molecules has been very costly for the food companies. Researchers at HZB and the University of Stuttgart have developed a portable, small and inexpensive 'EPR on a chip' sensor that can detect free radicals even at very low concentrations. They are now working to set up a spin-off company, supported by the EXIST research transfer programme of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection. The EPRoC sensor will initially be used in the production of olive oil and beer to ensure the quality of these products.
