Foreword of the President

It all began 100 years ago with the foundation of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society on January 11, 1911, marking the start of world-class basic research. With 15 Nobel Prizes awarded to members of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society and, so far, 17 Nobel laureates from the Max Planck Society, the initial promise has more than been fulfilled. The anniversary year 2011 was an opportunity for us to consider where we stand.
