For the Max Planck Day 2018, the two Max Planck Institutes from Halle had teamed up to present a section of their respective fields of research to a broad public. In two lectures, they presented to the public the role played in microbiological data and structures both in physics and in social and cultural anthropology.It was the first joint public event of the two institutes since their founding in Halle. The Institute of Microstructure Physics conducted the event in a newly opened large auditorium.
