The Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG) is an internationally renowned center for research in the social sciences. It is a place where researchers from around the world can meet, discuss, and work together.

Visiting researchers are provided with a desk and have full access to the Institute’s service infrastructure.
Your application should include a C.V., the contact information of two referees, a list of your publications, and a two- to three-page proposal on your intended research at the MPIfG.
