Research manager: Professor Peter Gruss and the Max Planck Society promote new, innovative research technologies such as plasma physics.
Basic research provides important information for innovations. However, a huge gap separates research and its application in new technologies and products. Opportunities for effective transfer are offered by cooperative projects between basic and applied research and public private partnerships. These have allowed innovative and profitable ideas to develop to market maturity in Germany as well.
Effectively exploiting potential
Professor Peter Gruss, Research Manager of the Max Planck Society, believes that industrial companies can benefit directly from cooperations with basic research. In his exclusive essay for research, the Bayer Scientific Magazine, read about the initiatives implemented by the Max Planck Society and which promising cooperations have already been brought to life.
