The Max Planck Society (MPG) is Germany's most renowned research organisation. It was founded in 1948 as the successor organisation to the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, which had been in existence since 1911. Today, the Max Planck Society operates 80 institutes and research facilities, as well as 54 graduate schools in cooperation with universities. More than 20,400 people work and carry out research at the Max Planck Society, including 4,900 scientists. Every year, 12,000 junior scientists and guest scientific researchers contribute to the work of the institutes. Max Planck Institutes are regarded as among the best research institutes worldwide because they produce internationally outstanding fundamental research and also excellent scientists - and both with an efficient use of resources. The Max Planck Society's budget for 2009 amounts to €1.3 billion. Further information can be found on the Max Planck Society's website at www.mpg.de.
