HAFUN
The Hamburg Fundamental Interactions Laboratory HAFUN is a special research building at the University of Hamburg. Research groups from the field of "Particle, Astro and Mathematical Physics" are based at HAFUN . This area is one of five key research areas at the University of Excellence Hamburg. The groups based at HAFUN are an integral part of the Cluster of Excellence "Quantum Universe", the MIN Faculty and the Department of Physics.
Recommendation
"In Science City, we have infrastructures and opportunities for cooperation that are unique in Europe. We are already a world leader in physics and climate research, and there is also a lot more potential in the fields of AI & quantum computing, life sciences and medicine."

Best location for cutting-edge research
How can the Science City partners create a campus that will continue to offer a modern and efficient environment for research, teaching and science in the future? Tobias Piekatz is one of the project managers working on this question in Hamburg Bahrenfeld. He greatly appreciates the cooperative collaboration with the experts in the neighborhoods: Together they find a solution for every obstacle.
