Helmholtz Association

An interest in science and research needs to be stimulated early on – at school, for example. The Helmholtz Association specifically works to secure our future by inspiring and nurturing the next generation of young scientists and researchers. Here you can access information and services for teachers, schoolchildren and young people and for schools in general.
