48 MPIfG Report 1999–2002 selves by giving at least one seminar. Occasionally researchers will present their findings to the entire staff, especially when research results have attracted public attention or when there is an issue in the news that a scholar at the institute can shed light on. Twice a year a number of researchers, usually three, present their current projects to the administrative staff. This has been very well received and enhances the overall atmosphere among researchers and administrative staff members. There are also a great number of guest lectures, some of which are for the MPIfG researchers only to provide an opportunity for scholarly debate. Others are open to the general public or, by invitation, to friends of the institute. Collaborative Research Within the institute, researchers frequently collaborate on publications. Also, the MPIfG’s internal peer review of papers submitted for publication as MPIfG Working Papers or Discussion Papers is an important vehicle for mutual information and debate. MPIfG researchers at all levels, including doctoral candidates, participate in this rigorous review system, which enables the reviewers to develop their critical skills, and the authors to gain from their colleagues’ experience and insights. Establishing Contacts Weekly in-house lunch meetings enhance personal contacts and help integrate the visiting researchers. Each visiting researcher is assigned to a research staff member who shows him or her around the building and helps establish professional contacts inside and outside the institute. The visiting researchers and new employees are introduced to the entire staff at the “Kaffee im Foyer,” which takes place every few months. Also, many features of the institute’s new building encouraged contact among the staff. With access to four seminar rooms, researchers are able to gather and discuss their work whenever they want to. There are also three spacious lunch rooms, which have proven to be popular meeting points for informal discussions and personal get-togethers such as the daily after-lunch espresso. The directors of the MPIfG regard it as one of their core tasks to provide for a rich social and intellectual context at the Institute, one within which independent and
spontaneous discussion and cooperation among all members can flourish. Horizontal communication among researchers, within projects and project clusters as well as across their boundaries, is no less essential for this than the direct interaction between directors and research staff. The recruitment of staff and visitors, the selection of topics for internal seminars and workshops, the invitation of guest speakers and the organization of lecture series are all important instruments of cultivating collective and individual creativity and independent motivation to produce excellent work. It is only in an environment like this that the directors can avoid becoming restricted to research management and can remain actively involved in research themselves. Cooperation with Other Research Institutes In addition to the projects MPIfG researchers conduct jointly with colleagues around the world, the MPIfG itself cooperates closely with a number of research institutes working in similar fields, among them the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute in Florence, the Center for European Studies at Harvard University, the Centre européen at the Institut d’études politiques in Paris, CEPREMAP (Centre d’Études Prospectives d’Économie Mathematique Appliquées à la Planification) in Paris, and the AIAS (Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies) in Amsterdam. Since 1998, the MPIfG has also been involved in a joint archive for publications on research in the field of European integration, ERPA – the European Research Papers Archive. The decision to establish ERPA was made jointly in November 1997 by Joseph H.H. Weiler (Harvard Law School, Cambridge, USA), Fritz W. Scharpf and Wolfgang Streeck (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne), Philip Alston (Academy of European Law, European University Institute, Florence), Yves Mény (Robert Schuman Centre, European University Institute, Florence) and Michael Nentwich (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna), who is the archive’s coordinator.
