Administration and scientific services
The service groups play a key role at MPQ: they provide the infrastructure necessary for outstanding scientific research.
Whether an experiment needs a precisely manufactured workpiece or the latest laser system, the administration and scientific service staff support the Institute's researchers, allowing them to focus fully on their scientific work.
The various administrative departments – from human resources to building services – ensure the smooth running of the institute.
The press and public relations department manages and coordinates all of the Institute's information channels and organises and supports guided tours for visitors.
