Use the address below when you need directions, mailing information or a clear sense of where IPP Garching is located. Larger institutions often spread teaching, research and administration across multiple sites, so confirm this is the campus relevant to your visit, interview or job application.
The Garching campus of the Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP) is the main site, founded in 1960, specializing in tokamak fusion research. It operates the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak, one of the world's leading fusion experiments, and hosts the Programme Management Unit of EUROfusion. Research here advances the understanding of magnetic confinement of high-temperature plasmas essential for fusion power plants. The campus supports approximately 700 staff members engaged in cutting-edge plasma physics studies, with close collaborations with Technical University of Munich.
