The Institution
Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH is a research centre which is funded by the federal (90 %) and by the state (10 %) governments. It is one of 15 research centres in the Helmholtz Association. The focal activity is energy research and development (petrol from plants and agricultural wastes, hydrogen technology, combustion units, nuclear fusion technology, etc.), but there are other topics like astronomy, cancer research, materials sciences, etc. There are about 3,800 employees.
Beginning in 2008, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe will merge with the Universität Karlsruhe (University of Karlsruhe) to KIT, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. This will double the research capacity. KIT will be the first merger of a publicly funded research centre with a university in Germany.
