Independent Research Groups
Central instrument for the promotion of (in particular junior) scientists in the Max Planck Society are the – either institute-specific or open-topic – independent Max Planck Research Groups. These are in a position to use the services of the institute they are associated with while at the same time benefitting from a budget of their own for scientific personnel and resources. The group leaders can thus pursue their research autonomously and advance their scientific career in a particularly efficient manner. Their appointment is subject to a rigorous, centrally managed selection procedure. For further information see www.mpg.de/max-planck-research-groups.
Four institute-specific independent Max Planck Research Groups are currently affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law.
