Library services

The library of the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics (MPI-IE) was established to supply the scientists with literature and information.

The collection focuses on the fields of research covered by the different research groups of the MPI-IE. The library can be found on the ground floor of Bldg. IV and is open around the clock in order to ensure our academic staff full access.

ICT services

The IT Service supports personnel in questions related to computers, phones or printers, including fast help for all kinds of hard- and software problems, providing guidance for purchasing decisions, and the maintenance of a well-performing and reliable server infrastructure and network.

Campus life

Within the last 50 years, the upper Rhine valley has undertaken a tremendous change from a rural area, narrowed by borders, to the heart of Europe, with Milan and Paris being closer than the German capital Berlin. Since August 2013, a TGV train directly connects Freiburg and Paris, in 3.5 hours. Nearer neighbours to Freiburg are Basel in Switzerland and Straßbourg in France. Today, living in one country and working or shopping in another has become normality. All this contributes to a highly international flair of the upper Rhine valley, but still preserving its regional character.
