History of the institute
On November 19th 2021, the Senate of the Max Planck Society approved of the foundation of the new institute. Since January 2022, the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology (MPIN) in Martinsried and the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology (MPIO) in Seewiesen thus operate as a joint Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (MPI-BI). The legal closure of the predecessor institutes and the foundation of the new institute took place in 2023.
