Official opening of the German Research School for Simulation Sciences in Jülich
On April 28, representatives from government, industry and science officially opened the new building of the German Research School for Simulation Sciences on the campus of Forschungszentrum Jülich. Professors, students, doctoral candidates and industrial partners of the German Research School demonstrated the chances, which are offered by simulations on high performance computers for the analysis of complex issues in different areas.
The German Research School for Simulation Sciences, a joint venture of RWTH Aachen and Forschungszentrum Jülich, offers programs for Master's students and doctoral candidates with access to the most advanced supercomputers in Europe. The study comprises all relevant areas of computer simulations. These range from the disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology to the interdisciplinary subjects of numerics and computer science.
The German Research School is financed in equal parts by the five partners BMBF, MIWFT, Helmholtz Association, RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich. The partners were represented by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Federal Minister for Education and Research, Tomas Rachel (MdB), the State Secretary Dr. Michael Stückradt from the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Research and Technology of North Rhine-Westphalia, the President of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Mlynek, the Rector of RWTH Aachen University, Prof. Dr. Ernst Schmachtenberg, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Forschungszentrum Jülich, Prof. Dr. Achim Bachem.
The new two-story building on the Jülich campus provides lecture, study, and conference rooms to support the new English-language Master's program "Simulation Sciences" and to host the two research groups of Prof. Dr. Paolo Carloni (Computational Biophysics) and Prof. Dr. Erik Koch (Computational Materials Science).

German Research School on Jülich campus: finally under one roof
Almost two weeks ago, the first employees of the German Research School for Simulation Sciences (GRS) moved into their new offices on campus here at Jülich. On 18 January, the new building (building no. 16.15) was officially unveiled. The building will house the two working groups Computational Biophysics (Prof. Paolo Carloni) and Computational Materials Science (Prof. Erik Koch) as well as the administration for the German Research School. Furthermore, employees and students can avail of seminar and conference rooms, as well as rooms for group work.
