116 V. People and Events presented. In addition, the MPIA presented several concepts aimed at increased public outreach of the Institute. Information on the budget situation was provided by the MPG. After stimulating discussions on all these points, the chairman, Dr. Wagner, stated in his summary that the Board of Trustees will support the presented new concepts for the future of the MPIA. The board deemed the report on the budget situation as positive. It particularly welcomed the successful construction activities for the expansion of the MPIA. Moreover, the board recommended that the MPIA should get more deeply involved in the discussion about an Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Furthermore, the Institute should examine the detailed logistic boundary conditions for its further commitment in connection with the establishment of an observatory in the Antarctic. The board will continue to support the efforts made with regard to public outreach – in particular, an extension of the concepts presented would be welcomed. The Board of Trustees rated the ongoing project »Science into Schools!«, which initially had been intended for physics lessons in senior grades, as being very successful. It would like to see it be extended to younger target groups (junior-high level). With regard to the Virtual Astro Lab, the concept of a public area for a multi-media presentation of science, the board would be very pleased with an extension of the concept towards other fields of research. News from the Theory Group within the Galaxies and Cosmology Department The theory group within the galaxies and cosmology department led by Hans-Walter Rix deals with issues of the formation and evolution of galaxies and with the interpretation of their observable properties based on analytic and semi-analytic models, n-body simulations, and hydrodynamical simulations. Since the beginning of the year under report, this working group has been led by Rachel Somerville. She previously worked at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore and at the universities of Michigan, Cambridge (UK), and Jerusalem. In addition, Frank C. van den Bosch has been leading an independent junior research group supported by the MPG in close cooperation with R. Somerville since the fall of 2005. Before coming to the MPIA, F. van den Bosch had worked in Leiden, Washington, at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, and at the ETH in Zurich. One of the main subjects of the theory group is the comparison of theoretically predicted morphologies, structure parameters and merger rates of galaxies with actual observations from deep surveys such as Goods and Gems. This is an important link to the observations made by the galaxies and cosmology department because here the data of deep surveys are also being studied. The same applies for problems of dark matter or the co-evolution of black holes and galaxies. (Klaus Jäger)
V.4 International Max Planck Research School in Heidelberg Starting in the year 2000, the Max Planck Society (MPG), together with universities throughout Germany has been setting up a network of graduate schools in order to attract and support particularly talented junior scientists from home and abroad. The »International Max Planck Research Schools« (IMPRS) offer students a structured scientific education combined with excellent research opportunities leading to a PhD after their first university degree. In 2005, the »IMPRS for Astronomy and Cosmic Physics at the University of Heidelberg« was started. Coordination of this IMPRS lies at the MPIA. The education of the new generation of scientists is of fundamental importance to the future of science, research, and innovation in Germany. Therefore, the Max Planck Society, in collaboration with universities, is setting up a network of graduate schools in Germany. As of 2005, 37 such institutions existed across all disciplines and a total of about 1500 PhD students registered there in the winter term 2004/2005, 40 percent of them women. Fig. V.4.1: This IMPRS poster has been dispatched to numerous institutes and universities. 117
