For the purpose of advising and supporting its 84 institutes and research facilities the Max Planck Society maintains the Administrative Headquarters in Munich, where the offices of the President and the Vice Presidents are located. The Administrative Headquarters runs the day-to-day business of the Max Planck Society and supports the organs of the Society in preparing and implementing decisions.
Max Planck Information and Technology (MaxIT) in Munich is a central institution of the Max Planck Society for research support and administration-related information and IT services. It combines the former Information and Communication Technology Department of the Administrative Headquarters of the Max Planck Society and the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) under one roof.
The Archives of the Max Planck Society was established in 1975 to collect and safeguard the files of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science and its historic predecessor, the Kaiser Wilhelm Society.
The function of the Berlin Office is to represent the interests of the Max Planck Society and intensify contact with decision makers in politics, industry, and in the society at large.
The main aim of the Brussels Office is to embed the projects of the Max Planck Institutes into the European research programmes. It is also a service platform providing support to the Max Planck Society and its institutes in their relations with the European institutions in all European aspects of policy and funding.
Each year scientists and researchers form the institutes of the Max Planck Society organize a number of conferences, symposia, and conventions. The Max Planck Society has several conference venues to accommodate these events.
