Research Structure

The MPIfG is currently managed by two directors, who decide on the Institute's research agenda. Within the Max Planck Society’s guidelines, the directors are independent and autonomous in their choice and pursuit of research interests. Some sixty to seventy senior researchers, postdocs, doctoral researchers, and visiting researchers work together in what are often international teams. Researchers are involved in research planning and develop their own projects within that framework. The MPIfG does not conduct contract research.
