About Partners Organisations


As Europe's centre of excellence for satellite operation, ESOC is home to the engineering teams that control spacecraft in orbit, manage our global tracking station network, and design and build the systems on the ground that support missions in space. 



In giant planets, stars, and during stellar explosions and collisions, matter is subject to extreme conditions such as very high temper­a­tures, pressures, and densities. FAIR will enable scientists to create such conditions in the laboratory.



A vibrant team of specialists in Healthcare, Life Science and Electronics. From advancing gene editing technologies and discovering unique ways to treat the most challenging diseases to enabling the intelligence of devices, Merck is everywhere.
