Jülich model: Directors of institutes at Forschungszentrum Jülich are appointed professor in a joint procedure with one of the neighbouring universities and are simultaneously second- ed by the university to Forschungszentrum Jülich in order to fulfil their duties as head of in- stitute at Jülich. Reverse Jülich model: Professors whose primary employment is at their university also work as directors of an institute at Jülich (secondary employment). In recognition of his excellent scientific achievements, Forschungszentrum Jül- ich conferred a Helmholtz professorship on Prof. Siegfried Mantl (Peter Grün- berg Institute) in April 2011, thus retain- ing his outstanding expertise in the field of application-oriented semiconductor nanotechnology. The physicist intends to use the resources associated with this professorship to continue working with his research group and to cooper- ate with leading industrial companies in order to advance basic research for the nanoelectronics of the future. Prof. Peter H. Dederichs from the Peter Grünberg Institute became a Helmholtz professor in February 2012. The profes- sorship is intended to pay tribute to the scientific work of those who receive it, said Prof. Achim Bachem, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Forschungs- zentrum Jülich, at the award ceremony. Following Peter Grünberg and Siegfried Mantl, Dederichs is the third Jülich sci- entist to be awarded a Helmholtz pro- fessorship. Helmholtz professorships were set up in 2007 to recognize and honour sci- entists with exceptional innovative achievements and an international repu- tation. It is one of the Helmholtz Associ- ation’s funding instruments and makes it possible to keep outstanding scien- tists on at one of the Helmholtz centres after they have reached the age of re- tirement for an initial period of three years. Simultaneously, it is also intend- ed to prevent older leading researchers from leaving Germany for a position abroad. Leading researchers can continue their work at Forschungszentrum Jülich beyond the age of retirement thanks to the Helmholtz professorships. Prof. Siegfried Mantl (left) and Prof. Peter H.
