The Indo-German Max-Planck Center for Computer Science (IMPECS) has been setup with the vision to perform top-quality basic research in Computer Science (CS) in cooperation between Indian and German computer scientists, serve as a bridge between the Indian and German CS communities, and enhance scientific cooperation between them, and act as a center of excellence in which faculty and students can build careers.
IMPECS will support research groups built around Indian scientists, organize schools/workshops/seminars and short/long term-visits to bring together researchers, offer Max Planck visiting professorships for high-profile researchers, organize exchange of graduate students, and provide postdoctoral fellowships for research stays at MPI-INF and MPI-SWS.
	IMPECS is supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung (BMBF, Federal Ministry of Education and Research) and the Max-Planck Gesellschaft (MPG, Max-Planck Society).
