The Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science (German: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e. V.; abbreviated MPG) is a formally independent non-governmental and non-profit association of German research institutes founded in 1948 and named in honour of its former president, theoretical physicist Max Planck. The society is funded by the federal and state governments of Germany as well as other sources. The Max Planck Society is the successor to Kaiser Wilhelm Society established in 1911. One of its institutes, the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, is noted for its demographic tracking of extreme longevity.
