Our Culture Is Based on Diversity

We are proud of our differences. Our Institute is living proof that diversity of experiences, life situations and cultures fosters creativity and innovation. Our diversity lays the foundation for innovation in research, and our research sets trends for the future.

A truly international Institute: Employees from 37 countries (as of 30 June 2019) shape the cultural diversity at the Institute. More than a third of all the employees working at the Institute come from abroad (distribution by country: see figure).

The share of research staff from other countries is 44 percent.
