Science

“Modern research city” is part of Jülich’s brand name. Science has been at home in Jülich not only since Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ, then still known as KFA) was established in 1956. Today, the local companies include six interdisciplinary research institutes on the Jülich campus of Aachen University of Applied Sciences

DLR

In Jülich, the German Aerospace Center shines less through its namesake areas than through its special research in the field of “solar energy”.

Synlight

Jülich attracted worldwide attention overnight with the launch of the Synlight large-scale research facility in 2016.
