Research Center Jülich (FZJ)

Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) is a German national research institution that pursues interdisciplinary research in the fields of energy, information, and bioeconomy. It operates a broad range of research infrastructures like supercomputers, an atmospheric simulation chamber, electron microscopes, a particle accelerator, cleanrooms for nanotechnology, among other things. As a member of the Helmholtz Association with roughly 6,800 employees in ten institutes and 80 subinstitutes, Jülich is one of the largest research institutions in Europe.

FZJ collaborates with RWTH Aachen within JARA-BRAIN, one of five divisions of the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA). In JARA-BRAIN, researchers of RWTH and FZJ have joined forces to work on improving the diagnosis and treatment of mental and neurological disorders. JARA-BRAIN is dedicated to improving the translational aspect of neuropsychiatric research.
