Helmholtz Fonds - Membership
Using synergies
The members of the Helmholtz Fund share a passion that is both socially and economically significant: precise, reliable measurements – metrology at the limit of what is measurable! The Helmholtz Fund offers a unique platform to advance the art of metrology, to expand knowledge and competences and to continuously improve products. We exchange views, learn from one another and use synergies. We award our prizes to commend top achievements and to create a public image that benefits not only the Fund as a whole but also each member individually.
As goes without saying, we are very pleased to welcome new members. After all, the greater the number of people and companies involved in the Helmholtz Fund, the more we can achieve and be of use to society with better and better precision measurements – fully in the spirit of our namesake.
