Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching and Greifswald is one of the largest fusion research centres in Europe. It is concerned with investigating a new source of energy. Around 1100 employees in research, technology, craftsmanship and administration contribute to developing the physical basis for a fusion power plant, which, like the sun, is to generate energy from fusion of light atomic nuclei. At Garching, IPP is operating the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator is being investigated at the Greifswald Branch Institute of IPP.
IPP was founded in 1960. It is an institute of the Max Planck Society and also associated to the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres. Since 1961 IPP has been an associate of the European Fusion Research Programme. The institute is funded by the European Union, the German Federal Government, and the State Governments of Bavaria and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
