During my visit to the United States, I am reminded how much transatlantic science relies on trust and cooperation. Continuing to research and teach, and creating perspective for the next generation is what matters now. My speech @germanyinboston.bsky.social: www.mpg.de/26280038/202...

A visit to Unitree in Hangzhou – a direct glimpse into the pace of innovation in #AI and #robotics. Encounters like this highlight how important it is to strengthen Europe’s own capacity to turn research into real-world innovation.
Excited to see two new Max Planck Centers deepen our collaboration with Singapore in data-driven chemistry and in research on biodiversity, culture, and knowledge—bringing together complementary strengths to enable discoveries no institution could achieve alone. www.mpg.de/26395088/wit...
Together with the G6 network of Europe’s major multidisciplinary research organisations, we are calling for stronger European action to protect academic freedom, strengthen excellent research, and support open scientific cooperation. Full statement: www.mpg.de/26487869/g6-...
