The MPIfG and the Faculty of Social Sciences and History of Diego Portales University (UDP) in Santiago de Chile set up a new international Max Planck Partner Group in 2023. Led by Aldo Madariaga, Assistant Professor in the UDP’s School of Political Science, the Group focuses on the extent to which the green economy and associated ecological transformation can drive economic growth in emerging markets, and on the political background to green growth and stagnation processes. The Partner Group set itself two fundamental goals: to encourage case studies and comparative research centering on Chile and Latin America in these fields, and to build a community of researchers that engage with the MPIfG research agenda in joint publications and academic exchange.

Through its Partner Groups, the Max Planck Society (MPG) supports outstanding early-career researchers from its institutes who are returning to their countries of origin, and works with countries interested in strengthening their research through international cooperation.
