  13. Essential Cornerstones sound financial support independence/autonomy quality control/evaluation system international cooperation support of young researchers The Max Planck Society Research at the Frontier of Knowledge Max Planck Society Mission 12

  14. BMBF: Higher Investment into R&D and Education – combined with structural reforms • more competition-oriented funding • new ways of steering and managing universities and research centers • new career paths for young researchers • performance-oriented pay for professors • science and industry – closer links • new attitudes vis-à-vis and support of entrepreneurship • public understanding of science – Wissenschaft im Dialog • Integration into European Research Area and internationalization 13

  15. Genome research, biotechnology und health research Environmental and climate research Production research and materials research Nanotechnology and optical technologies Information and communication technologies Energy research Mobility and transport research Space research and technology Priorities in research funding BMBF: 14

  16. Components of Successful Research 15

  17. Autonomy at Max Planck Institutes • 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 Max Planck Institutes are responsible for 16

  18. Types of Evaluation Ex Ante Evaluation Ex Post Evaluation System Evaluation • •Establishing institutes • • Appointments • Program concepts • Concepts for • individual scientific • proposals • Performed every 2 • yrs. by the scientific • advisory boards of • the institutes • Extended evaluation • every 6 yrs. • Evaluations • commissioned by • donors and granting • agencies • Structure oriented presidential committee • Internal analysis of the • activities and the • performance Peer Review 17
