The Helmholtz Pioneer Campus

The Helmholtz Pioneer Campus (HPC) is an innovation campus with a startup culture at the Helmholtz Zen­trum München. HPC stands for the intelligent fusion of biomedical sciences, engineering and digitization. Teams of top scientific talents from all over the world work together on the development of novel solutions that make a difference in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. HPC aspires the values of Hermann von Helmholtz (1821- 1894), a physician and physicist, polymath and science pioneer.

Pioneer Campus - New Building

The new HPC laboratory and office building, future home of up to 20 pioneer groups and management, is designed by wulf architekten (based in Stuttgart/Berlin, Germany) and scheduled to go into operation in 2023. Flexibility is one of the building’s hallmark, catering to the general concept of the HPC: teams that integrate various disciplines and research areas, a highly technology-driven research environment, and the continuous fluctuation of pioneer teams.
