Team members from many nations are working in an interdisciplinary research environment: chemical engineers, biologists, physicists, mathematicians, control and computer engineers are cooperating closely.
original
Our Max Planck Institute, located in Magdeburg, is dedicated to all aspects of process systems engineering, chemical, biochemical and energy systems, that are vital to the future of well-being of human society globally. It is our aim to optimize these increasingly complex processes in modern production systems.

A specific strength of our MPI is the combination of systems-theoretical approaches with experimental validation carried out under one roof. We further develop mathematical, computational and control theoretic methods along with the various process applications investigated here.

Mathematics meets mechanical engineering
From March 18 to 22, 2024, around 1,000 scientists from over 30 countries are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM) in Magdeburg. The topics of the conference range from numerics and fluid mechanics to materials science. (Press Release in German)
Major success for Magdeburg as a hub of science and research
The Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg has successfully taken an important hurdle in the nationwide competition for clusters of excellence: As announced by the German Research Foundation (DFG) on February 2, 2024, the SmartProSys research initiative, which is based in process systems engineering, was selected by an international panel of experts to apply with a full proposal for millions in funding from 2026 as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State governments. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems are significantly involved in the SmartProSys research initiative in Magdeburg.
