Award for MaxPlanckResearch

A total of 194 publications from seven countries participated in the first international corporate media award, a competition reflecting trends in the area of corporate media.  MaxPlanckResearch was presented with an Award of Excellence: "What particularly impressed us was the manner in which the magazine utilise images. Images were optimally used to illustrate abstract contents. In addition, images showing scientists within the context of their research work were intelligently selected and integrated into the page layout. MaxPlanckForschung provides an excellent overview of the broad spectrum of the Max Planck Society's research subjects." (Excerpt from the jury's appraisal).
