It currently operates 85 institutes and research institutes in Germany and abroad for basic research in natural and spiritual sciences and is thus one of the internationally leading research institutes with numerous Nobel Prize winners in their ranks. The MPG founded the new central IT facility Max Planck Information and Technology (MaxIT) on 1 January 2026. This bundles and coordinates central IT activities of the MPG and is a reliable partner for science and administration.

As a central institution for IT and librarianship, it develops and implements strategies and technologies in the areas of digitalization in science and administration, open science, library, publishing, IT infrastructure and IT security. In close cooperation with the scientific institutes and the General Administration (GV), MaxIT focuses on the efficient use of modern digital tools and technologies to sustainably promote digital transformation in science and administration.
