Jülich Research Centre

The Jülich Research Centre (German: Forschungszentrum Jülich, short FZJ) is based near Jülich, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is a member of the Helmholtz-Gesellschaft.

Founded in 1956 as the Kernforschungsanlage Jülich (nuclear research institute Jülich, short KFA) it was originally focused on nuclear research. In 1990 it was renamed to the more neutral name as other fields of research were added in the meantime.

More recently it has become involved in a number of Grid computing projects, such as UNICORE , DEISA and EUROGRID .
