Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY

About Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY

DESY is one of the world's leading accelerator centers. With DESY's large-scale facilities, researchers explore the microcosm in all its diversity – from the interplay of the smallest elementary particles to the behavior of novel nanomaterials and the vital processes that occur between biomolecules. The accelerators, as well as the detection instruments that DESY develops and builds, are unique tools for research: they generate the world's most powerful X-ray light, accelerate particles to record energies, and open entirely new windows into the universe. This makes DESY not only a magnet for over 3,000 international researchers from more than 40 nations each year but also a sought-after partner in national and international collaborations. Dedicated early-career researchers find an exciting, interdisciplinary environment at DESY. The research center offers attractive training opportunities for a wide variety of professions. DESY cooperates with industry and business to drive forward new, socially relevant technologies and promote innovation. This also benefits the metropolitan regions of the two locations in Hamburg and Zeuthen near Berlin.
