Introduction Junoir Research Groups Scientific Activities Notice

Introduction
 
Since 1969 the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft(MPG) has been supporting gifted, young scientists and researchers through its Independent Junior Research Groups, which run for a limited period of time. Therefore, JRGs promote talented young scientists by offering them the opportunity to qualify for management positions in science at the MPG or other institutions. APCTP exchanged agreement with MPG and POSTECH for establishment of JRGs at APCTP, so APCTP has been launching two JRGs in 2008.
   
 
¡Û MPG has been running over 100 JRGs since 1969.
¡Û The Leader of JRG pursues his/her own research program.
¡Û The Leader of JRG improves his/her research capacity and leadership, and gets a good position after JRG.:
    - Almost half of the scientists: full professorship at a university in Germany or abroad
  - Every fifth scientist: Assistant professorship
    - Eight former heads of JRGs: Scientific Members of the MPG
     
  ¡Û MPG extends their JRGs to abroad from 2001:
    - Germany: at Max Planck Institutes
    - France: with the CNRS
    - Israel: with the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot
    - China: with the Chinese Academy of Sciences
    - Poland: with Polish Academy of Sciences
    - Korea : with APCTP & POSTECH at APCTP
     
  Exchange Agreementto establish JRGs at APCTP
    - Date: Oct. 5, 2008
    - Institutes: APCTP, MPG & POSTECH
    - Location: APCTP Headquarters, POSTECH, Pohang, Korea
     
  JRG at APCTP
    - Fund from MPG and Korean Government
    - Research evaluation under regulations of MPG and APCTP
    - Research infrastructure from POSTECH
