Structure
The scientific work at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Resarch is organized into project groups. These are established as needed for carrying out a research untertaking and are then disbanded on completion of their tasks. This procedure has proven itself over many years. It takes into account the diversity of the staff members and encourages flexibility and efficiency in the Institute. There are in all 87 scientific staff members at the Institute as well as 13 visiting scientists and 38 graduate students. Including Central Services 260 staff members are working at the institut (01.04.2008).
