Max Planck Partner Group (2018-)

Transmission and Interactions in Chinese Modern Physics

The objectives of the Max Planck Partner Group "Transmission and Interactions in Chinese Modern Physics" are to draw upon archival and secondary literature, as well as oral interviews and reexaminations of existing research studies. In doing so, it will explore and reconstruct:

  1. Transmission of knowledge in modern physics between China and other countries
  2. Relations between Chinese institutions and the Max Planck Society
  3. What these points teach us about the changing concepts of science and innovation in China and the West
