The Max Planck Institutes (MPI) for Biophysical Chemistry and for Experimental Medicine will merge to the new Max Planck Institue of Multidisciplinary Sciences. The decision-making bodies of the Max Planck Society (MPS) approved the plan submitted by the two institutes on March 12. Formally, both institutions will be closed and a new MPI will be founded, keeping the existing Göttingen sites in Hermann-Rein-Straße and at Faßberg. The future institute will bring together natural science and basic medical research, promote disciplinary diversity and collaboration, and advance training of the next generations of excellent researchers. The new MPI’s foundation is scheduled for January 1, 2022.
