Goals / Remit
The mission of the Helmholtz Association is research that contributes significantly to answering major and pressing questions of science, society and industry. Our scientists focus on systems of high complexity that affect people and the environment. This involves, for example, securing mobility and energy supplies, preserving an intact environment for future generations, or finding therapies for previously incurable diseases. The work of the Helmholtz aims to secure the basis of human life in the long term and to create the technological basis for a competitive economy. Excellent scientists work in the 18 research centers, using globally unique research infrastructures, to achieve these goals. Helmholtz pools and combines its strengths in six research fields: Energy; Earth and Environment; Health; Information; Aeronautics; Space and Transport; and Matter.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
