List of Max Planck Institutes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Max Planck Institutes are research institutions operated by the Max Planck Society.[1] There are over 80 institutes.[2] Most of them are located in Germany, although there are other locations in other European countries and the United States.[1][2]
Institutes are organized into five categories according to their research area:[1][3]
One institute can belong to several research areas. In addition, it can also belong to several more specialized research fields.[1] In administrative terms, the institutes of the Max Planck Society are divided into three sections: Biology and Medicine, Chemistry, Physics and Technology and Human Sciences.[4]
