How can solar energy be produced on our planet? What do satellite pictures reveal about global warming? These questions and many others are being asked at the Greifswald affiliate of the Max-Planck-Institut für Plasma Physik (IPP – Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics) and in the affiliate of the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR – German Centre for Air and Space Traffic) in Neustrelitz.
The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics does research on feasible future energy production by means of the fusion of light atomic nuclei of hydrogen. The target is to construct fusion power plants.
Scientists in the Neustrelitz affiliate of the German Centre for Air and Space Traffic deal with applications in the field of aviation and satellite based earth observation.
Altogether there are 15 major research institutes in Germany. They are all members of the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft deutscher Forschungszentren (HGF – Helmholz Association of German Research Centres). This scientific organisation, the largest of its kind in Germany, conducts future-oriented research in the fields of energy, the earth and the environment, health, key technologies, material structure, as well as traffic and space.
