We are looking forward to a long-term cooperation with the UFZ and are eagerly awaiting further projects!

The Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research GmbH - UFZ was founded in 1991 under the name UFZ-Umweltforschungszentrum Leipzig-Halle GmbH and employs 1,100 people at its sites in Leipzig, Halle/S. and Magdeburg. Here, research is conducted for the sustainable use of natural resources for the benefit of people and the environment. As a reliable partner, the UFZ supports politics, business and civil society to better understand the consequences of human actions for the environment and to develop options for social decision-making processes. After In One Media had already produced various topic-specific contributions for the institute in the past, this year we were given the honour of creating two image films for the 25th anniversary of the research centre. In order to do justice to the history of the UFZ and at the same time to be able to show the current work at the institute, two short films were created with these different focal points. A film lasting just under nine minutes shows "The founding history of the UFZ", which is a member of the Helmholtz Association and bears the name of Hermann von Helmholtz, an eminent scientist of the 19th century. The foundation and construction of the institute took place in the course of German-German reunification under exceptional conditions. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, people realized a necessity to build up environmental research in the new federal states. The initial difficulties quickly gave way to the efficient daily work at the UFZ. A success story of the German science company began. Professor Peter Fritz, Professor Wolfgang, Haber and Dr. Karl Tichmann report on the beginnings of the Institute in Leipzig. The six-minute film "We at the UFZ" gives an insight into the daily work at the Institute. Here, 16 of the almost 1100 employees talk about their tasks and their mission in integrative environmental research. Further information and insights regarding our image films can be found on our homepage at Productions. All news about our films about the Helmholtz Centre will of course be published here at News Section on our homepage and via our Facebook Channel.
