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

- “Jugend-forscht” winners at HZB (Update)Charlotte Klar and Katharina Austermann (both 18) have already come a long way: With their experiments on pyrolytic graphite, they are trying to solve a puzzle they found in the technical literature on diamagnetism. With their work, they convinced both the Jugend-forscht-Jury at the Berlin South Regional Competition and the Berlin Competition. Now, they will join the national competition which will take place from 18 to 21 May in Bremen.
- Calculating the carbon footprint of publicationsProf. Dr. Jens Eisert heads the Quantum Computation and Simulation research group, which is jointly funded by Freie Universität Berlin and HZB. The theoretical physicist recently received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council ERC for his research project "DebuQC". But Eisert is not only an award-winning scientist, he is also concerned about global warming. Last year, on the initiative of Ryan Sweke, he and his team published a proposal that deserves attention: scientific publications on theoretical physics or chemistry could include a simple table listing the greenhouse gases emitted during the research. This would raise awareness of the fact that research is not climate neutral.
- Humboldt Fellow joins HZB for battery researchDr. Wenxi Wang is working in the team of Prof. Yan Lu as Humboldt Foundation postdoctoral fellow. He studied at the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, China, and completed his doctorate at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. He specialises in the precise design of organic electrodes for lithium-sulfur and zinc-ion batteries and the investigation of the interactions between ions and active materials.
