The Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) conducts research in the fields of energy, health and matter.
The focus is on the following issues:
- How do you use energy and resources efficiently, safely and sustainably?
- How can cancers be better visualized, characterized and effectively treated?
- How do matter and materials behave under the influence of high fields and in the smallest dimensions?
The HZDR develops and operates large infrastructures that are also used by external measurement guests: Ion Beam Center, Dresden High Field Magnetic Laboratory and ELBE Center for High Power Radiation Sources. It is a member of the Helmholtz Association, has six locations (Dresden, Freiberg, Görlitz, Grenoble, Leipzig, Schenefeld near Hamburg) and employs almost 1,500 people – around 680 of whom are scientists, including 200 doctoral students.

The scientific division of the HZDR is divided into ten institutes. All institutes and research areas receive scientific and technical support from the central departments Research Technology and Information Services and Computing.
In the Energy research field, Helmholtz scientists are working to secure energy supplies and resources in a long-term and sustainable manner and to develop solutions that are economically, ecologically and socially viable.
The The Helmholtz Centers involved in the Research Field Health investigate the causes and development of common diseases. Research into cancer plays an important role in this. The aim is to develop strategies for the prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment of this often complex disease.
In the Helmholtz Research Field Matter, the constituents of matter and the forces acting between them are investigated at very different scales, from elementary particles to structures in the universe.
