Braunschweig has a great history of clever minds: Carl Friedrich Gauß, Agnes Pockel, Richard Dedekind and Heinrich Büssing have their roots here and are an important part of the image of this modern city of science. More than 1.500 people in over 250 companies in the high tech sector and in 26 research institutions live and work in Braunschweig and secure the future potential of the region. Amongst others there are the Helmholtz-Zentrum for the research of infectious diseases, the ‘Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt' (German Centre for Aerospace), the second largest research airport in Europe and the world's biggest chip development centre of the company INTEL. Over 16.000 students study at the Technical University, the technical colleges and the College of Art. According to the EU Eurostat office Braunschweig with its high concentration of scientists is the centre of the most research intensive region in the whole of Europe. A creative environment, inter-disciplinary co-operation and networking between science and commerce are the matrix for outstanding innovations - and in Braunschweig the normal way of life. The Association for the Promotion of Science and Humanities in Germany was also impressed by the amount of science and research in the Lion City and awarded Braunschweig the title of Germany's ‘City of Science' in the year 2007. This dialogue between sciences, economy, cultural institutions and the population, that was started then, now continues in the ‘Haus der Wissenschaft' (House of Sciences).
