The Scientific Advisory Board meets every three years to
evaluate the institute. Every six years, the regular
evaluation is augmented by an expanded one. A small
committee of experts from inside and outside the Max
Planck Society is appointed to conduct the expanded
evaluation.
Several Max Planck institutes
working in related fields are put together in "research
fields," which are then compared with research
institutions in Germany and abroad that are working in
related fields as well. The institutes' results are
compared as are the funds spent to achieve them.
MPIfG Scientific Advisory Board
Appointed by the
president of the Max Planck Society for a 6-year term, the members of the scientific advisory board
advise the institute's directors on issues affecting the
research program and evaluate the institute's research output
for the president of the Max Planck Society.
