title: Global Leadership in Emerging Fields: Toward Astro-Particle Physics, Relativistic Astrophysics, and Multi-Messenger Astronomy
abstract: Astrophysics, and Multi-Messenger AstronomyThis last chapter breaks with the bird's-eye view to engage in depth with three episodes that best highlight the intense interrelationship of longstanding scientific traditions in the Max Planck Society and global leadership in scientific fields.All three case studies have in common their roots in traditions that date from before Sputnik and that benefited from unique features of the Max Planck system, such as interdisciplinarity, embeddedness in intern
