Description

The Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) has a new address. Our new building is located at the Garching Research Center in the immediate vicinity of three MPIs that were all spun off from the MPP: the MPIs for Astrophysics, Plasma Physics and Extraterrestrial Physics. On this occasion, we will host the Inauguration Symposium "Future Prospects of Particle Physics".
