	Max-Planck-Gesellschaft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Max Planck Institutes operate independently from, though in close cooperation with, the universities, and focus on innovative research which does not fit into the university structure due to their interdisciplinary nature or which requires resources that cannot be met by the state universities.
		The Max Planck Society was founded after World War II in 1948 as the successor organization to the Prussian Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft, which was established in 1911 as an non-governmental research organization named for the then German emperor.
		Other notable networks of publicly funded research institutes in Germany are the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, performing applied research with a focus on industrial collaborations, and the Helmholtz-Gesellschaft, a network of the national laboratories in Germany.

	Max Planck Society
		The Max Planck Society for the Advancement of the Sciences (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V.) is an independent non-profit-making research organisation.
		In particular the Max Planck Society takes up new and promising directions in research that the universities are not able to accommodate sufficiently, if at all.
		Max Planck Institutes therefore complement the work of the universities in important fields of research.

		The Max Planck Society is the most important research organization in Germany for applied research in the natural and bio-sciences and in the arts.
		On the one hand, the Max Planck Society was the immediate successor of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society founded in 1911 because of the diverse personal and institutional lines of connection.
		Since the founding of the Max Planck Society a total of 15 of its academics have been awarded the Nobel Prize, the last two were awarded in 1995 to Christiane Nüsslein-Vollhard (medicine) for her work on the genetic control of early embryo development and to Paul J. Crutzen (chemistry) for his studies on atmospheric chemistry.

		In particular, the Max Planck Society takes up promising new directions of research that have no place - or insufficient place - at universities and do not fit into the organizational structure of a university due to their interdisciplinary charcter or for some other reason cannot be carried out at universities.
		One of the major goals of the Max Planck Society in founding an institute in the field of demographic research was thus to provide this subject area with new impulses and to regain and consolidate German's position in the international research community.
		Moreover, the Max Planck Society is fully aware of the difficult financial situation Germany finds itself in and the challenges facing society as a whole - from reforming the social security system to the consequences of the war in Iraq - and which the state budgets will be confronted with in the coming years.

		The institutes often cooperate closely with the universities nearby, but are independent of them (and, as stated above, funded federally, while universities are run by the states).
		The MPG is named after Max Planck, the famous German physicist who initiated quantum mechanics.
		Apart from the institutes, there are the International Max Planck Research Schools, Independent Junior Research Groups and other facilities.

	Evaluation of Usage and Acceptance of Electronic Journals: Results of an Electronic Survey of Max Planck Society ...
		Within the Max Planck Society, the German basic research organization similar to an academy of the sciences, a survey of researchers' use and acceptance of electronic journals was carried out from April 15-May 15, 1999.
		The Max Planck Society encompasses 84 research Institutes of varying sizes plus several additional Working Groups and Research Centers devoted to research in virtually all disciplines ranging from various aspects of physics, chemistry, mathematics and computer science, biological and biomedical sciences, to varied areas of the humanities and social sciences.
		Max Planck Institutes in the humanities section criticized the content offerings of ScienceDirect in that only very few of the journals suited their research needs and they appealed for a greater spectrum of selection.

	Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, Innovations, Research, Science
		The foundation of the Max Planck Institute of Astronomy in 1969 came from the insight that a nationwide institute, furnished with powerful telescopes, was necessary in Germany if up-to-date research in the field of optical astronomy was to be possible again and research abroad was to be caught up with.
		The Max Planck Institute of Astronomy consists of two parts: the central institute in Heidelberg was completed in 1975 and attends to the preparation and performance of astronomical observations and the development of new instruments and measurement techniques used on our telescopes.
		During the constructiontime of the observatory the scientists and technical staff of the Max Planck Institute of Astronomy collected first astronomical observation experiences with rocketflights and with telescopes which were lifted up to an altitude of 40 km by a balloon.

	The eDoc-Server Project: building an institutional repository for the Max Planck Society
		The Max Planck Society is currently organized in 80 institutes all dedicated to basic research in their field.
		The strong autonomy of the institutes was also the reason why the Heinz Nixdorf Center for Information Management (ZIM) which is in charge of developing the software and establishing this server as a central service in the MPS, involved the institutes from the very beginning in shaping the project and formulating requirements.
		Within a year, with the eDoc-Server an institutional repository could be introduced to the 80 research Institutes of the Max Planck Society, which are geographically distributed and cover a wide range of disciplines in sciences and humanities.

		Seeking to explain the experimental spectrum (distribution of electromagnetic energy according to wavelength) of fl body radiation, he introduced the hypothesis (1900) that oscillating atoms absorb and emit energy only in discrete bundles (called quanta) instead of continuously, as assumed in classical physics.
		The success of his work and subsequent developments by Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin SchrOdinger, and others established the revolutionary quantum theory of modern physics, of which Planck is justly regarded as the father.
		He was professor at the Univ. of Berlin (1889–1928) and president (1930–35) of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Advancement of Science, Berlin, which after World War II was reconstituted as part of the Max Planck Institutes.

		The Max Planck Institutes conduct fundamental research in the natural sciences, life sciences, in the humanities and social sciences.
		The Society focuses on new, especially innovative lines of research that have not yet attracted due attention in German universities, or that, owing to their interdisciplinary nature, do not fit into the organisational structures of universities, or that require human resources or infrastructure input that cannot be provided by universities.
		With the multiplicity of their interest in the natural sciences and humanities, the Max Planck Institutes thus supplement the work of universities and other research institutions in important fields; in some areas they have a main function, in others a complementary one.
