If science can help us understand the times we live in,
if research can help explain the paradigmatic
changes taking place in business, politics and
society, if enlightened discourse can help
distinguish between ideology, opinion and spin --
then one cannot overstate the impact of the Max
Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in
Cologne. ...
The institute is addressing issues at the core of
today's public debate.
Dr. Wolfgang Uellenberg-van Dawen
Trustees of the MPIfG

with the public. The duties and rights of the Board of Trustees
("Kuratorium" in German) can be found in Article 7 of the
