In line with the central philosophy of the Max Planck Society, MPI‑CBG wishes to attract top brains to the institute from wherever they may currently reside and then provide them with the optimal environment to pursue their research interests.

In order for this strategy to be successful, it is essential that scientists of all nationalities, ethnicities, skin colors, sexual orientations, religions, and/or whatever particular cultural or societal position or inclination feel equally welcome at MPI-CBG.
