What do Cologne, Washington DC, Tokyo and Antarctica have in common? They are all home to one of DLR’s 40 institutes and facilities, which are spread across more than 20 locations and international offices worldwide. This short video takes you on a trip to DLR – showcasing the organisation’s people, science and research topics.
True to the motto 'Knowledge for Tomorrow', the film demonstrates how top-level research at DLR is driven by immense enthusiasm and how diverse its people and success stories truly are.
Take a look inside DLR’s research departments and above all, meet some of the more than 8000 people who make it all happen!
