About MPI

 

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics is an institute of the German Max Planck Society. Our mission is to undertake basic research into the psychological,social and biological foundations of language. The goal is to understand how our minds and brains process language, how language interacts with other aspects of mind, and how we can learn languages of quite different types.

The institute is situated on the campus of the Radboud University. We participate in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and have particularly close ties to that institute's Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging. We also participate in the Centre for Language Studies. A joint graduate school, the IMPRS in Language Sciences, links the Donders Institute, the CLS and the MPI.

Eva Reinisch receives prestigious Otto Hahn Medal

May 2, 2011

Since 1978, the Max Planck Society has honoured up to 30 young scientists and researchers each year with the Otto Hahn Medal for outstanding scientific achievements. The German chemist and Nobel Prize laureate Otto Hahn was the first president of the Max Planck Society from 1948 to 1960.

Gifted junior scientists

The prize is intended to motivate especially gifted junior scientists and researchers to pursue a future university or research career. The award comes with a monetary sum as recognition. Since 1978, more than 800 scientists and researchers have been awarded the Otto Hahn Medal. The award is presented during the general meeting of the Max Planck Society in the following year.

Total surprise

'The prize came as a total surprise', admits Eva Reinisch. 'It really means a lot to me. I didn't know that my promotors and supervisor suggested me for the prize. I hope that it will help me to build a career in science...'
