About Max Planck Institute for Physics
The Max Planck Institute for Physics (Werner Heisenberg Institute) is a Max Planck Society institute in Munich. It descends from the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics, founded in Berlin in 1917, and moved to Munich after World War II. Heisenberg directed it for many years. It is a specialist particle-physics laboratory, not a teaching university.
Research covers high-energy particle physics, astroparticle physics, and related theory and detectors, including collaborations at CERN and in neutrino and dark-matter experiments. Doctoral students enroll at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München or the Technical University of Munich.
A few hundred staff include many international doctoral researchers. Albert Einstein directed the Berlin predecessor; Heisenberg later led the Munich institute. Alumni continue in experimental collaborations and university groups.
Ph.D. training is a research thesis with graduate-school or IMPRS courses and contract funding. Students live in Munich and divide time between the institute and the two Munich universities.
In the Grad School Navigator directory, Max Planck Institute for Physics lists 1 doctoral program, in physics.
