Support innovation - safeguard excellence
"The power of innovation that can be unleashed by basic research is beyond belief. Science is endeavouring to ensure that the world of the future remains one worth living in. That is why I support Max Planck Society and, in so doing, keep alive the memory of my husband, Peter Engelhorn. His life and work stirred ideas in a technical, intellectual art historical context that endure to this day."
(Traudl Engelhorn-Vechiatto, Individual Supporting Member of the Max Planck Society since 1992)
In our complex world, scientists must remain pioneers both in the questions they ask and the answers they find. The ability to react with the necessary flexibility requires funding that can be deployed rapidly and unbureaucratically – for example, funding provided through private sponsorship.
