DESY, with more than 2900 employees at its two locations in Hamburg and Zeuthen, is one of the world's leading research centres. Its research focuses on decoding the structure and function of matter, from the smallest particles of the universe to the building blocks of life. In this way, DESY contributes to solving the major questions and urgent challenges facing science, society and industry. With its ultramodern research infrastructure, its interdisciplinary research platforms and its international networks, DESY offers a highly attractive working environment in the fields of science, technology and administration as well as for the education of highly qualified young scientists.

In that capacity, DESY is member of the German Helmholtz Research Association, a group of 19 independent research centers all over Germany, providing a world-class science infrastructure, focusing on the major societal challenges of our time, covering areas like climate change, energy transition, transport in the future and the battle against severe and widespread diseases. In order to most efficiently use its distributed IT resources and expertise and at the same time reduce the energy footprint, the Association is operating the Helmholtz Federated Services, in short, HIFIS. The platform provides a seamless and powerful ICT infrastructure to the entire Helmholtz scientific community. Within HIFIS, DESY is responsible for the implementation of the central Cloud Portal, making firstclass distributed cloud services available and easily accessible to the 42 000 employees of all Helmholtz centres and, whenever possible, to external scientific collaboration partners.
