  8. Mission • We contribute to solving grand challenges which face society, science and industry by performing top-rate research in strategic programmes. • We research systems of great complexity with our large-scale facilities, cooperating closely with national and international partners. • We contribute to shaping our future by combining research and technology development with innovative applied and forward-planning perspectives.

  9. 2. Helmholtz – Main Characteristics • Strategic Programmes • Research into systems of great complexity • Competence for planning and operating large-scale facilities and scientific infrastructure

  10. Research into Systems ofGreat Complexity • Global models of the Earth‘s gravity field (GRACE) GFZ |GeoForschungsZentrumPotsdam

  11. DKFZ | Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum GSI | Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung Research into Systems of Great Complexity • Tumor therapy with precise exposure of „heavy ions“

  12. Research into Systems of Great Complexity • Ice cores as climate archives • EPICA – European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica AWI | Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung

  13. Scientific Infrastructure andLarge-scale Facilities • Scientific infrastructure and large-scale facilities are a… • focal point of national and international collaborative research projects • nucleus for high-tech development X-FEL at DESY GSI Future Project

  14. 3. Helmholtz – Basic Reform • What is the goal? • To improve • Scientific quality • Performance • International competitiveness • Effectivity und efficiency in the use of resources

  15. Helmholtz – Basic Reform • Competition and cooperation • Programme-oriented funding • Science adequate controlling

  16. Programme-oriented Funding • What does it mean? • Financing activities (programmes)instead of financing institutions (centres) • What is at its core? • International strategic evaluation

  17. Programme-oriented Funding 6 Research Fields 30 Programmes 126 Programme Topics

  18. Programmorientierte Förderung Programme-oriented Funding • A comparative and competitive procedurewith several steps: • Competition between • Programme Topics • Programmes • Research Fields

  19. Programme-oriented Funding Procedure Programme proposals by Helmholtz scientists Programme evaluation by international experts Recommendations by Senate Commission Funding recommendations by Senate Funding by Financing Partners

  20. Programme-oriented Funding • Requirements for drawing up programmes • Strategic goals and milestones • Prospects of success and contribution due to longer-term development of the research field • Cost and capacity planning • Management structures

  21. Programme-oriented Funding Procedure Programme proposals by Helmholtz scientists Programme evaluation by international experts Recommendations by Senate Commission Funding recommendations by Senate Funding by Financing Partners

  22. Programme-oriented Funding Evaluation criteria • Scientific Quality • Originality • Competence for realisation of the programme • Relevant scientific publications, prizes/awards, third party funding

  23. Kriterien für die Begutachtung 2 Programme-oriented Funding Evaluation criteria • Strategic Significance • Relevance • Relation to defined Helmholtz fields of research • Cooperation and networking with national and international Partners • Innovation potential • Promotion of young researchers and equal opportunity

  24. Programme-oriented Funding Evaluation criteria • Use of human and financial resources • Appropriateness in regard to the set goal • Programme-specific infrastructure required andneed for large investments

  25. Science adequate Controlling ProgrammeControlling FinancialControlling ScientificEvaluation • assures scientific quality • creates transparency • monitors progress • enables better process management

  26. Wissenschaftsadäquates Controlling Science-adequate Controlling Prerequisite • Definition of clearly outlined, but flexible goalsand specific milestones • Principle • Precision in planning determines precision of controlling • Process • Differentiated evaluation of indicators and controlling of milestones attained through progress reports • Controlling results as input for scientificevaluation and the centres‘ internal evaluations

  27. First Results as of 2004 • More cooperation and competition • Strategic goals and milestones • Distinctive profiles • Enhanced flexibility • Greater visibility

  28.
