HELMHOLTZ interested in joint research with Armenia in a number of  fields 

ArmInfo.One of the largest research organizations in Germany, HELMHOLTZ, is interested in  conducting joint scientific research with Armenia in the fields of energy, climate change and artificial intelligence (AI). This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Armenia, referring to the results of the meeting between the head of the department, Zhanna Andreasyan, and  the head of HELMHOLTZ, Otmar Whistler.

In the context of conducting research in the field of climate change,  Zhanna Andreasyan touched upon the recent natural disaster that  occurred in the Lori and Tavush regions of Armenia. In this regard,  she noted that the Armenian education system faces the challenge of  developing research capacity, data analysis and implementing more  effective policies to reduce the negative consequences of possible  disasters.

Speaking about cooperation in the energy sector, Andreasyan added the  importance of scientific research in the field of alternative sources  energy, in particular solar energy. During the meeting, the  interlocutors also discussed the possibility of HELMHOLTZ  participating in the Academic project city. The German side proposed  holding exchange programs for young researchers and scientists.

HELMHOLTZ includes more than 15,000 scientists and 7,000 doctoral  students. The organization was formed in 1958 as a simple working  association of a number of young institutes in order to study the  then extremely popular atomic energy. Now the Association named  after. Helmholtz consists of 18 independent research centers.  Scientists at HELMHOLTZ focus on the highly complex systems that  shape human life and the environment. The research topics are related  to issues of preserving the environment for future generations or the  development of new methods for treating diseases that were until now  considered incurable.
