Organization of the network

"By working in the network, I recognize the common ground that different facilities share. This allows us to speak with one voice as MaxBI and represent our interests within the MPG. We can contribute important data to the research of our collaboration partners. And for everyday life it is helpful to see that you are not alone with your challenges."

"MaxBI provides me with the opportunity to interact with facility members across the Max Planck Society. This creates a platform to exchange experiences and knowledge, from scientific to organizational details that helps to execute our tasks better."

“The members of MaxBI are an enthusiastic and cooperative crowd of people who are always happy to help! It’s amazing how much we could achieve by joining forces in such a Max Planck-wide network. Sharing is caring!”

For me, MaxBI is the perfect network: We have the right balance of things we share and things that are different in our facilities. We can thus be efficient in working on common goals and helping each other with our complementary expertise.

"Getting in touch with many colleagues from other Core Facilities of the Max Planck Society made me feel part of a large, enthusiastic and cooperative community, and able to exchange useful information both on the organisational and technical side."

"Working in cross-MPI research groups is an enriching exchange. You come into contact with other colleagues from other facilities and through the joint work you have the opportunity to further develop and improve the facilities in the Max Planck Society. It is also always exciting to gain insights into other facilities, because this also broadens one's own horizions."

"With MaxBI we could achieve things we could not achieve for many years before."
