List of Max Planck Institutes

Max Planck Institutes are research institutions operated by the Max Planck Society.[1] There are 86 institutes as of January 2019.[2] Most of them are located in Germany, although there are other locations in other European countries and the United States.[1][2]

Institutes are organized into five sections according to their research area:[1][3]

One institute can belong to several research areas.[1] In addition, it can also belong to several more specialized research fields.[1]
