Third Network Meeting in Rome
The third Research-Alumni Meeting of Heidelberg University took place in Rome in February 2013. Around 15 former visiting scientists from Italy discussed the prospects and challenges for science, research and teaching in Germany and Italy and exchanged views on the possibilities offered by the network to former visiting scholars. Italy is one of the three focal points of the Research-Alumni Network, besides the United States and India. [More...]

Dual Career Service Supports Families of Researchers
Heidelberg University and other research institutions have set up a comprehensive programme of services to help scientists who are transferring to Heidelberg with their families settle into their new life. One important part of this programme is the Dual Career Service for partners of university scientists. Other services, such as childcare arrangements, help scientists balance the move to Heidelberg with the needs of their family. [More...]
Heidelberg Scientists to Develop a Research Platform for the „Human Brain Project“
Physicists of Heidelberg University are major contributors to the “Human Brain Project”, an international large-scale undertaking within the framework of the FET flagship initiative, funded by the European Commission. With estimated cost of approximately 1.19 billion EUR, the goal of this ten-year research project is successively reconstructing the complex functional principles of the human brain and simulating those using fundamentally new computer architectures. More than 250 researchers from 23 countries will be collaborating. [More...]
