Max Planck: Max Planck Society
built 813 days ago
The Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) is part of the Max Planck Society, a non profit research organization dedicated to top level basic research. The MPIB, which currently has 10 departments and 15 independent junior research groups, is one of the largest Institutes within the Max Planck Society's biomedical section. While its size enables the Institute to maintain a variety of methods, it ... provides a basis for developing a research focus with close collaboration among the departments. The research focus of the institute might best be described as the examination of the structure, function and interaction of biological macromolecules (especially proteins), commencing with a single molecule, progressing to the cell and the organism as a whole.

On the occasion of the launch of the 7th EU Research Framework Programme, the Max Planck Society will present the Science Tunnel within the framework of the 2007 German Council Presidency. The exhibit will be officially opened on March 7, 2007 during the high level EU research event "Today is the Future", to be attended by 500 prominent guests from politics, science and research. Until March 18, 2007, visitors will be able to embark on a fascinating journey into the present and the future of scientific discoveries.

Max Planck was to become the most influential scientist in Germany. For 26 years (1912-1938) he was permanent secretary of the mathematics and physics sections of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. It was Planck who brought Albert Einstein to Berlin in 1914. Planck, who was awarded the 1918 Nobel Prize in Physics for his 1900 discovery, became the president of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society (1930-1937), the prestigious and influential organization established in 1911 by the German government and industry for the promotion of research.

The Max Planck Institute for European Legal History in Frankfurt focuses on transnational comparative historical scholarship and research on European legal development. The aim of the institute is to portray historical communication about the creators of social and legal norms; their share of power in this process and their interaction with other institutional forces of society. The institute is not divided into departments but carries out research in project-oriented fields of inquiry.

One hundred years ago this past December a German scientist by the name of Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck gave a lecture in Berlin to the German Physical Society. Planck's lecture would change the world forever. Entitled "On the Law of the Normal Distribution of Energy" the lecture marked the birth of quantum physics. Quantum physics established a basis for the later development of nuclear physics, the laser and the computer. It is the foundation of the modern technological world extending from nuclear energy to the transistor radio.

The Max Planck Society wants to raise the proportion of women in areas where their share is low. Women are therefore especially encouraged to apply. The Max Planck Society ... wishes to employ more severely challenged persons, whose applications are therefore explicitly wanted.
