Section overview
Description
The Helmholtz Zentrum München is a research institution of the Federal Government and the State of Bavaria within the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, the largest scientific organisation in Germany. In future, the Helmholtz Zentrum München will be represented within the research field Health of the Helmholtz Association with both programs, Environmental Health und Systemic Analysis of Multifactorial Diseases, as well as in the field Earth and Environment with the Terrestrial Environment program.
