MPDL Project Aspects[edit]

The MPDL has annual budget for MPDL Projects, so called "Sonstige/Institutsübergreifende Maßnahmen". The following points apply:

  • The outcome of a MPDL Project has to benefit more than one Max Planck Institute and has to be of scientific importance.

    (These two points are also the main review criteria)
  • An annual progress report in written form has to be delivered.
  • 15 % of the granted budget is retained until the MPDL has positively reviewed the outcome of the project.


Application Stages[edit]

  • The project proposal is prepared my members of the institutes and the MPDL
  • The project proposal is submitted
  • Two external (non-MPG) experts review the project proposal
  • If necessary the project proposal can be revised once, after which it is subject to review again
  • The steering committee LA sInfo of the MPDL decides on the basis of the proposal and the reviews about suggesting the project to the Präsidium for funding
  • The Präsidium decides about funding the project
