Networks
Careers are forged in networks — in research settings as elsewhere.
The Max Planck Society offers established networks as well as innovative structures to foster new networks.
Career Steps Network
Fostering talent, boosting careers, developing human resources, reconciliation of work an family life as well as equal chances – the Career Steps Network is about all these things. The network facilitates the two-way flow of information between the administrative headquarters and the Institutes. Simultaneously, it helps to convey the Institutes’ ideas and needs back into the community. It also provides the Institutes with a networking platform.
