Our Mission
The Helmholtz Research School supports the national and international scientific research in heavy-ion and hadron physics,
associated with the future International Accelerator Facility FAIR at GSI. This new facility will give direction to the
research in modern heavy-ion and hadron physics for the next decades. It will be established based on the present CERN
and GSI efforts, including the upcoming heavy-ion program at the CERN-LHC, where the next generation of scientists is
be trained prior to the final construction of the new GSI facility. The graduate student training program will foster
dedicated young researchers in our field and build up research groups working nationally and internationally, supporting
the science done at the leading future facilities at GSI and at CERN.
