1 Opportunities for Earth System Research in the Max-Planck- Society Markus Reichstein Department of Biogeochemical Integration

2 Mission and Guiding Principles»Insight must precede Application«Basic Research at cutting-edge, strictly curiosity-driven and quality oriented Autonomy, where scientists decide upon science Harnack Principle : People not programs Flexible, dynamic, interdisciplinary MPIs Long-term trust systems with significant core funding for high-risk projects Quality assurance by peers Max Planck, Founder of the Quantum Theory Nobel Prize 1918 M A X - P L A N C K - G E S E L L S C H A F T December 2013

3 Citation Ranking Max Planck researchers are among the most cited worldwide: Number of highly cited papers (top 1%) January 1998 June 2008 (Source: ISI Essential Science Indicators) M A X - P L A N C K - G E S E L L S C H A F T December 2013 SEITE 3
