114 MPIfG Report 1999–2002 Organizational Structure of the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies Scientific Advisory Board Board of Trustees Administrative Director Administration Secretaries Library Computing Editorial and PR Unit Management Committee Library Committee Computer Committee Publications Committee Website Committee Directors at the Institute Institutional Change in Advanced Political Economies Science, Technology and Systems of Innovation Website Committee takes a critical look at how the MPIfG presents itself on the internet, how the website can facilitate the dissemination and exchange of information about the institute’s research, and how the site can be used to enhance inhouse communication. In 2000–2002, the relaunch of the external site was the focus of the committee’s work as was a substantial expansion and improvement of the intranet. Members of the service staff are in touch with their counterparts at MPG headquarters, other Max Planck institutes, and social research institutes in Germany and abroad. They are also in contact with research institutes and university departments in the Rhine-Ruhr region. The communication in these networks keeps growing and helps ensure that the support staff can continue to provide the MPIfG researchers with professional service. Managerial Committees The managerial committees at the institute, which are chaired by the managing director, meet regularly. Every two weeks, the heads of the service units meet with the managing director to discuss decisions that need to be made. Once a month, this group is expanded to include representatives of the researchers – the chairs of the functional committees. This Management Committee also has a planning session in December where the service units’ goals for the coming year are agreed upon and the previous year’s developments are discussed. Research Meeting Research Areas Research Meeting Research Group Democratic Government and Economic Governance Theories and Methods There are many informal opportunities for researchers to meet and exchange ideas at the institute (for more on research management, see Sections “Cooperation and Communication within the Institute” and “Doctoral Candidates”). In accordance with the bylaws of the institute, there is also a Research Meeting twice a year. Chaired by the managing director, this meeting brings together the directors and the research staff members to discuss how the project areas are developing and what the institute should concentrate on in the future.
Works Council In accordance with German labor law, the MPIfG has a works council. Elected every four years, the works council represents the interests of employees vis-à-vis the employer. It has an advisory role when new positions are to be filled, cooperates with the administrative director and the managing director in setting works rules (such as how to manage flex-time) and helps individual employees as needed. The works council meets regularly with the managing director and holds a works meeting, which all MPIfG employees are invited to attend, two or three times per year. The MPIfG works council sends a delegate to the central works council of the Max Planck Society. More Support for Visiting Researchers The institute has improved its support for visiting researchers. Close cooperation between the visitors’ liaison, the administration and prospective visitors ensures that the stays are carefully prepared, and any issues still open when a visitor arrives can be easily dealt with. Visiting researchers receive detailed information about the institute and the city of Cologne long before their arrival at the MPIfG, and the institute helps them find accommodations. Immediately upon arrival, they can start working. This procedure is very well received by the institute’s visiting researchers. Open Channels of Communication Improved communication at the institute reduces the amount of time the directors need to devote to management.
