It is one of the few cities in Germany that are allowed to call themselves "city of science". The reason is that Darmstadt has clearly dedicated itself to academia and resaerch:, it has a technical university ("TU Darmstadt", founded in 1877) and two universities of applied sciences "h_da" and "Evangelische Hochschule" with 40,616 students in total. Furthermore there are several research institutes, e.g., the [http://www.esa.int/About_Us/ESOC European Space Operations Centre], [http://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/index.html EUMETSAT] and the [https://www.gsi.de/en/start/news.htm GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research], which discovered with their heavy-ion accelerator chemical elements like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darmstadtium Darmstadtium]. Many technology companies are also located here, e.g. big cooperations like [http://www.telekom.de/ Deutsche Telekom], [http://www.merck.de Merck] but also SMIs like [https://www.cst.com CST] which is a spin-off of TU Darmstadt and the market leader for high-frequency electromagnetic field simulations. | ||
