Autonomy at Max Planck Institutes
Max Planck Institutes are responsible for

determining their research areas

choosing their research structure (i.e., departments/projects)

independently recruiting their own personnel

managing the institute‘s budget

acquiring third-party funds

selecting their national and international cooperation
partners, as well as the form of collaboration
