Central IT Services
IT services are provided at MPI-M by the Central IT Services (CIS) group.
The most important services of the Central IT Services are:
- Procurement, setup and management of IT hardware and software for both users (laptops, PCs) and infrastructure (servers, networks, etc.)
- Central user administration
- Provision of an efficient network (LAN, WLAN)
- Central IT help desk as a contact point for all IT-related issues
- Provision of services to support daily work (e.g. version management, project management, websites, etc.)
- Ensuring secure IT operations (failover, backup, IT security)
Detailed documentation on the IT Group’s offerings can be found in the Wiki of the institute.
An account (username and password) is required to use most IT services. Usually, an account will be created for you as soon as you have a contract with MPI-M. If you are a guest at MPI-M and need an account, your group leader at MPI can request an account for you. Further details are described in the institutes Wiki.
If you have any questions or problems using the IT systems at MPI-M, please contact the IT help desk.
Please note that questions regarding the DKRZ systems (e.g. Levante or data archive) will be answered by the DKRZ user support.

Max Planck Institute for Meteorology welcomes Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel-awardee Prof. Tiffany Shaw
“The MPI-M community has all the necessary ingredients for addressing the grand challenge of climate change: theoretical investigations, climate models across a hierarchy of complexity (aqua planet to state-of-the-art storm resolving models) and a collaborative research environment. It is therefore the perfect place to investigate fundamental scientific questions related to the interhemispheric asymmetry of extratropical storms and clouds as well as the impact of changing extratropical circulation extremes under climate change.”, Professor Shaw reasons.
During her period as visiting research scientist at MPI-M, her work is directed at several goals: Investigating and understanding changing extratropical circulation extremes under climate change. Quantifying the sensitivity of the atmospheric circulation response to global warming to model resolution, and also, confronting Earth System model trends with observations. This research is particularly crucial because it underpins the Earth's atmospheric circulation and its pivotal role in shaping the habitability of our planet, both in the past and for generations to come.
About the award
Endowed with a €45,000 grant, the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award acknowledges the remarkable research achievements of up to 20 foreign scientists annually. Awardees are expected to continue making significant contributions in their respective fields, with an impact that extends beyond their immediate areas of expertise. The award is named in honor of the German astronomer and mathematician, Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (1784-1846), and is financially supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
