Host and quantum chemist Professor Joachim Sauer, husband of chancellor Dr Angela Merkel, had wished to offer a scientific part to the partner programme during the G20 summit in Hamburg besides a harbour tour and a visit to Hamburg city hall.

At the Hotel Atlantic, Professor Claussen introduced the visitors to the history of climate science in Hamburg. Professor Bjorn Stevens, also a director at MPI-M, presented current climate research, and Professor Ludwig explained the special features of the high performance computing system and its enormous store capacities.

Instead of the originally planned guided tour through the computer center and to the data archives the state visitors experienced a virtual tour with filmsequences and photos through of the computing center.
