From the MPG official website:

The Max Planck Society for the Advancement of the Sciences e.V. is an independent, non-profit organisation. It was established on 26 February 1948 as the successor organisation to the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, itself founded in 1911. The Max Planck Institutes conduct basic research in the sciences and arts and humanities with the objective of concentrating in particular new and promising areas of research to supplement research carried out by the universities.
