How are gender aspects integrated into the research projects of the Max Planck Society? What questions arise from the interdisciplinary encounter of gender and basic research? Which approaches, projects and research projects already exist and which could be additional?
These are FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS that Birgit Kolboske, Isabel Valera and Gunda Wössner, Max Planck scientists and authors, will talk about on the occasion of the publication of the anthology of the same name.

For the first time, the Max Planck Society is publishing an anthology on gender research, "Fundamental Questions". Thanks to the broad spectrum of disciplines and cultures represented in the Research Association, the authors, who come from various institutes, present their findings in numerous fields of research: law, art history, history of science, neuroscience and computer science. The approaches, topics, issues and methodology of the collected contributions are equally diverse. This diversity shows in the best possible way that the integration of the gender perspective is beneficial not only for applied science and development, but also for basic research.
