Excellent public and private universities as well as renowned research institutes draw penetrating minds to Hamburg from near and far. More than 9,000 researchers and 70,000 students are an invaluable intellectual asset for Hamburg’s scientific community: Their work and ideas are essential to keeping the metropolitan region a centre of innovation and new discoveries. In recognition of this fact, more and more companies cooperate closely with the various institutions.

Intelligent Connections
Scientific success has many faces: The Bernhard Nocht Institute, which specializes in infectious diseases, made international headlines in 2003 by identifying the SARS virus. The German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) conducts basic research with a focus on particle physics, photon science and accelerator development. One of DESY’s projects utilizes an X-ray laser, the only one of its kind in Europe, to produce sequences of highresolution radiographs of chemical processes at the atomic level. Another example is the Center for Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (ZMAW), world leader in oceanic, climate and earth system research. Hamburg is particularly well-positioned in the field of climate research and emerging as a new competence centre.
