This internet presence contains links to external pages. External pages will open up in new windows or tabs.

When presenting a link for the first time, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft examines the external content to check, whether it will incur possible action under civil or criminal law.

Max-Planck-Gesellschaft expressly dissociates itself from such contents.
