8th Max Planck Symposium for Alumni and Early Career Researchers "The rise of social, economic and environmental justice"
The Max Planck Symposium is an intensive, two-day career conference serving as a platform to connect international Max Planck Alumni and Max Planck Early Career Researchers of all disciplines and Institutes. The topic of every symposium is suggested and realized by the participants themselves, who are then supported by high level experts and invited guests. Following three years of completely digital and one hybrid symposia, we had decided to conduct an exclusively onsite symposium in 2023. All participants had the opportunity to participate in exciting onsite meeting formats, such as a cultural running dinner, fireside chats and a live art performance.
