and MPI-SWS are among 80 institutes (MPIs) of the Max Planck Society.
The MPIs are Germany's prime research facilities with world-class,
foundational research in the fields of medicine, biology, chemistry,
physics, technology, and the humanities. Since 1948, MPI researchers
have won 17 Nobel prizes, which testifies to the quality and innovation
of MPI research programs.
