The Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer Institute) is one of the largest of the approximately 80 institutes constituting the Max Planck Society and is unique with respect to its history and interdisciplinary research. It clearly demonstrates the research potential that can be generated by operating at the interfaces of the classical scientific disciplines: physics, chemistry, and biology. The unifying vision has been to characterize biological processes in a quantitative manner, as was already reflected in the focus of several of the founding departments on reaction mechanisms and dynamics. However, the fields of neurobiology, biochemistry and molecular biology were also represented at the outset, thereby ensuring that the institute would contribute to and exploit the dramatic advances in biology-related technology and knowledge of the next 30 years. As a natural and desirable consequence, the current research spectrum of the MPIbpc is very broad, encompassing fields such as spectroscopy and photochemical kinetics of molecules in crystals, liquids and gases; the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules; cellular architecture; analysis of protein functions through computer simulations of atomic motion; RNA processing and transport; release mechanisms of neurotransmitters and hormones; molecular mechanisms of cellular signal transduction; improved spatial and temporal resolution of 3D light microscopy; molecular genetics; and processes underlying development and differentiation as well as the regenerative potential of invertebrates and mammals. This combination highlights the multidisciplinary approach of the institute, which has been confirmed with numerous acknowledgements and awards.

The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock is one of the leading demographic research centers in the world. At the MPIDR, researchers from all over the world investigate mortality, fertility, migration and other issues at the forefront of population research. The Institute is headed by its directors Mikko Myrskylä and Emilio Zagheni. The MPIDR is part of the Max Planck Society, the internationally renowned German research society.

The Max Planck Institute for Human Development is dedicated to the study of human development and education, as well as human-machine interaction. Researchers of various disciplines – including psychology, education, sociology, medicine, history, economics, computer science, and mathematics – work together on interdisciplinary projects at the Berlin Institute. The research questions they examine include how people make effective decisions even under time pressure and information overload, how the interaction between behaviour and brain function changes over the lifespan, as well as how human emotions change in a historical context and how they have affected the course of history itself and what social innovations and challenges come with digitalization.

Our goal is to advance foundational research and drive innovation in key areas of computer science. The research at our institute covers a broad spectrum, ranging from the study of the fundamental principles of algorithms and logic to the study of systems such as the Internet and multimodal areas such as computer vision, computer graphics, databases and information systems, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

The Max Planck Institute for Physics is one of the most renowned research institutions in particle physics. We explore the smallest building blocks of matter – elementary particles – and their interactions, aiming at answering some of the fundamental questions on the constituents of the universe: What is the nature of dark matter? Why is there hardly any antimatter in the universe? What are the mechanisms behind the violent processes in cosmic objects like black holes or gamma-ray bursts?

Are you aware that the steel industry alone contributes to 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions? And imagine that the average lifespan of a smartphone is only 3 years, and without recycling, up to 50 different elements are lost, many of which are precious metals or rare earths. Established in 1917 with a focus on steels and other metallic alloys, our institute underwent a significant transformation, reflecting our unwavering commitment to pioneering basic research on sustainable materials for energy, mobility, infrastructure, manufacturing, and medicine. With our 350-strong international team from over 35 countries, we are tackling one of today's most pressing challenges: transforming materials, which are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental decline, into green resources that drive a truly circular economy. We delve into the very structure of materials down to the atomic scale, crafting alloys that excel in real-world conditions. From using hydrogen instead of fossil fuels to extract metals, to devising endlessly recyclable materials and finding ways to extend material lifespans while reducing waste, we are at the forefront of innovation. Moreover, employing advanced techniques like artificial intelligence and machine learning, we are revolutionizing material production, making it more efficient than ever before.

Procedural law matters – this could be the leitmotif for the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law. (hereafter referred to as MPI Luxembourg) The MPI Luxembourg is a legal research Institute located in Luxembourg’s quarter of Kirchberg. Founded in 2012, it is operated by the Max Planck Society (MPG), Germany’s foremost provider of basic research in science and humanities, and funded by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as a part of a broader strategy of the local government to develop Luxembourg as a centre for academic excellence and higher education. The MPI Luxembourg is the fifth institute established outside the German borders, and the first to focus on law. Since its foundation in 2012, the MPI Luxembourg has established itself at the forefront of enquiries on procedural law, and has integrated into the wider research and academic community in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in Europe and globally. The MPI Luxembourg investigates modern tendencies in dispute resolution mechanisms from different perspectives, especially those of public international law, and European and comparative civil procedural law. Anchored in truly international and interdisciplinary foundations, the research projects developed at the MPI Luxembourg investigate the grounds of the procedures governing international courts and tribunals as it tackles, at the same time, the various contemporary forms of dispute settlement, such as collective litigation, online dispute resolution and mediation.
