Impressions from the Max-Planck-Day on September 14!

Profile of the institute

The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology consists of the three departments Evolutionary Genetics, Evolutionary Theory and Microbial Population Biology.

It is focused on basic research to unravel general evolutionary processes, such as ecological adaptations, benefits of sexual reproduction or evolution of cooperation. The scope of the work includes ecological, organismic, molecular and theoretical approaches.
News
On the occasion of the nationwide Max Planck Day on September 14, our MPI opened its doors during the afternoon. About 400 interested visitors were excited about the program and the insights they got about evolutionary biology and the work that is done at the MPI.  In addition, Plön´s evolutionary path was opened: The history and evolution of life on earth is presented at eleven stations along the way from the Plön lake to the institute.Already in the morning, our scientists visited 19 schools throughout Schleswig-Holstein in order to make evolutionary biology an experience for the next generation.
