The Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science was established in 1911 (then called the Kaiser Wilhelm Society). It is an independent nongovernmental and non-profit association of German research institutes publicly funded by the federal and the 16 state governments of Germany. The Max Planck Society has a world-leading reputation as a science research organization, with 33 Nobel Prizes awarded to their scientists. According to SIR Global Ranking, the Max Planck Society ranks third in Europe for the amount of
scientific output that is included into the set of the 10% of the most cited papers in their respective scientific fields. In 2006, the Times Higher Education Supplement rankings of non-university research institutions (based on international peer review by academics) placed the Max Planck Society as No. 1 in the world for science research, and 3rd place in technology research.
