A central highlight will be the discussion about the challenges facing modern society, such as climate change. Here, experts such as Hermann Parzinger and Patrick Cramer will address societal expectations of science. The evening will be moderated by Sibylle Anderl, who will provide insights into the important history of the Max Planck Society since its founding in 1948. This company has established itself as one of the leading research organizations in Germany and conducts research in over 80 institutes in the natural, biological and social sciences, such as mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de highlights.

In recent decades, the Max Planck Society has attracted international attention for its excellent research work, including the appointment of 18 Nobel Prize winners. Its success is based on the principle of supporting top researchers in an environment that allows them to independently define and pursue a variety of research questions. In this way, society has always maintained the flexibility to respond to new scientific challenges and offers a platform for innovative research.
