Research for the energy of the future

The research conducted at Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmapysik (IPP) in Garching and Greifswald is concerned with investigating the physical basis of a fusion power plant. Like the sun, such a plant is to generate energy from fusion of atomic nuclei.

IPP in Garching und Greifswald comprises ten Scientific Divisions, each headed by a Scientific Member of Max Planck Society (see “Structure of IPP“). IPP´s research is concentrated in seven experimental or theoretical projects. 

The research conducted at IPP is part of the European fusion programme. With its workforce of approx. 1.100 IPP is one of the largest fusion research centres in Europe.

Divisions

Research at the Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik in Garching and Greifswald is organised in ten scientific divisions. 

The ten divisions plus three junior research groups investigate confinement of high-temperature hydrogen plasmas in magnetic fields, develop plasma heating facilities and measuring methods for analysing plasma properties, deal with plasma theory, magnetic field technology, materials research and plasma-wall interaction, and conduct systems studies for fusion.
