New building for excellent research
|
Founding of the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry, MPIC
On September 21, the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry lays the foundation for its new building at the northwest corner of JGU campus. Words of greeting were given by Mrs. Doris Ahnen, Federal Minister for Science to Rhineland-Palatinate, and Vice President Prof. Martin Stratmann of the Max Planck Society. Founded in 1911 in Berlin and since1949 based in Mainz, the Institute celebrates its 60th anniversary in Mainz. From spring 2011 on, the new building incorporates all MPIC Departments that are now distributed among six buildings. In its nearly hundred-year history, the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry always worked at the forefront of basic research - after all, it spawned three Nobel Prize winners. The current focus of the institute is on the chemistry of the global change in the Earth system in general and on the interactions of the atmosphere and oceans, soils, biosphere and man, in particular. |
