How is the research structured?

Research at the GFZ is organised via the comprehensive research programmes operated by the Helmholtz Association, covering two areas: Earth and Environment, and Energy. Each programme includes a number of topics.

The GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is also part of the Integrated Earth Observation System (Helmholtz EOS) (http://www.gfz-potsdam.de/portal/gfz/Forschung/Programmorientierte_Foerderung;jsessionid=C88789E50DFD1AC6CE2C9B186077334A), which is a Helmholtz research network, linking research on Earth and Environment and Transport and Space − two Helmholtz research fields − for purposes of earth observation. Further centres taking part are AWI, DLR, HZG and KIT.

To consider questions over and above the topics covered by the programme, and to strengthen national and international networking and collaboration, the GFZ is engaged in numerous research projects.
