The Max Planck International Research Network on Aging (MaxNetAging), directed by
James W. Vaupel (Director at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research) since 2007,
is a virtual institute for the advancement of research on the causes, patterns, processes, and
consequences of aging. Under the auspices of the Max Planck Society MaxNetAging provides
a platform for an international collaboration endeavor between Max Planck Institutes
and outstanding scholars from other institutions around the world. The network's interdisciplinary
focus includes political science, law, sociology, anthropology, economics, history,
art history, history of science, demography, mathematics, biology, medicine, cognitive and
brain sciences, psychology, and human development. MaxNetAging consists of a doctoral
and postdoctoral stipend program (MaxNetAging Research School), fellowships, research
workshops, and annual conferences.
At the beginning of the first year, the PhD students and Postdocs
spend an initial period of six months at the Max Planck
Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock. During this
time, they participate in a course program designed to introduce
them into various aspects of aging research. Following
this initial period, for the remaining running time of their stipend
the PhD students and Postdocs continue their PhD education
and research projects at the Max Planck Institutes they
are affiliated with, under the supervision of its director. The
first fellows at the KHI arrived in July 2009. In the reporting
period the KHI hosted three doctoral and two postdoctoral
fellows working on different kinds of subjects which range
from medieval art to 17 th century Flemish paintings up to contemporary installations.
