A NNUAL R EPORT 2004Reconstruction of a virtual 3D modelbased on Filippo Juvarra’s(1678 – 1736) perspective drawingof a royal palaceEuropean Cultural Heritage OnlineThe Internet has opened up completelynew dimensions for the science world: distanceis no longer a hurdle for close cooperation,and even very diverse disciplines aremoving closer together. The ECHO project,co-financed by the EU, aims to develop awork environment that allows science facilitiesto work jointly on scattered data. In apilot phase financed in the 5th EU FrameworkProgram under the scientific coordinationof Prof. Jürgen Renn, the MaxPlanck Institutes for the History of Science,for Psycholinguistics and for Art History(Bibliotheca Hertziana) and their Europeanpartners created the foundations to allowpartners at different scientific institutionsto work on data scattered throughout theinternet. The long-term aim is to establish aEuropean infrastructure for the humanitiesthat meets the demands of the internet eraand that is on a par with comparable projectsin the USA. The partnership will alsoapply for third-party funding to continueECHO in the 7th EU Framework Program.http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/homeCarbon – Assets and LiabilitiesEuropean scientists have begun the world’sbiggest project to study the global carboncycle under the scientific coordination ofProf. Ernst Detlef-Schulze of the MaxPlanck Institute for Biogeochemistry inJena. More than N16m will flow into CarboEuropefrom 2004 to 2008, together witha further N30m from national budgets. Thescheme aims to calculate the entire Europeancarbon balance and to determine theregional distribution and temporal dynam-16

Morethan one hundred continental measurementstations distributed over all Europeanclimate zones and ecosystems will providedata on the carbon balance. In parallel,earth-based stations, measurement towers,and airplanes will determine the concentrationof greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.All the measurement data will then be integratedinto high-performance computermodels in order to predict the developmentof the terrestrial biosphere. The backgroundto the project are the United Nations FrameworkConvention on Climate Change andthe Kyoto Protocol, in which Europe hasundertaken to reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 )emissions by at least 8 percent compared to1990 levels between 2008 and 2012.http://www.carboeurope.org/New technologies for proteome researchAs part of Integrated Projects, the EU providesfunding with a project volume of up toN20m for a maximum of 5 years for internationalpartnerships between research institutionsand companies that bring technologicaldevelopments from basic research tomarket maturity within that time. TheInteraction Proteome project brings togetherrenowned scientists from eleven leadingEuropean scientific institutions as well asfrom industrial companies, includingEurope’s biggest manufacturers of massspectrometers and electron microscopes.Their joint aim is to develop new technologiesfor proteome research. The project,which receives a total of N12m funding, iscoordinated by scientists from the MaxPlanck Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried.The European consortium, withProf. Franz Hartl as its scientific director,aims to develop a new technological platformfrom a range of standardized routinetechnologies which would allow proteininteraction networks to be studied – a challengethat particularly addresses the needsof biomedical research.http://www.interaction-proteome.org/The Max Planck Society’s Brussels officeThe Max Planck Society’s Brussels office offers a platform for dialog between theMax Planck Society and its institutes, and European institutions. As part of theAdministrative Headquarters in Munich, it fulfills a wide variety of tasks, rangingfrom services for the Max Planck Institutes to providing strategic support for theheads of the Max Planck Society in their dealings with both European institutions andwith other German and European decision-making bodies.The head of the Brussels officeDr. Rüdiger Hesse (r.), talking to theEU Research CommissionerJanez Potočnik17
