Max Planck Institute for Computer Science

The Max Planck Institute for Computer Science is devoted to cutting-edge research in computer science with a focus on algorithms and their applications in a broad sense. The research ranges from foundations (algorithms and complexity, programming logics) to a variety of application domains (computer graphics, geometric computation, constraint solving, computational biology). It is part of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Germany's largest society for fundamental research. The objective of the institute is to achieve an effect equally through scientific publications, software systems and by training the next academic generation. The research institutes of the Max Planck Society have a national and international reputation as “Centres of Excellence” for pure research.
