Michael Faraday
Institution e.V.
Introduction
to the MFI
The Michael
Faraday Institution e.V. was founded in 1991, the 200th anniversary of the
birth of Michael Faraday. He was born on 22 September
1791 near London.
Michael Faraday is known for his discoveries
in the areas of electromagnetic induction, electrolysis und electrostatics. He
constructed the first dynamo, and the unit Farad of capacitance is named after
him.
Thus
Michael Faraday made an outstanding contribution to the engineering sciences.
It is for this reason that an association dedicated to furthering the
engineering sciences in Germany was named
after him.
The
Michael Faraday Institution e.V. is a registered association (e.V.) having its
seat in Munich.
According to the last communication ("Freistellungsbescheid") dated 4 August 2009 from the German tax authorities, tax number
143/219/20102, the charitable educational objectives of the association were
recognised so that the association is not subject to corporation tax, Article
5, Paragraph 1, No. 9 KStG.
According
to its constitution, the purpose of the association is to further the
engineering sciences, particularly electronics and electrical engineering,
within Germany. This purpose is achieved through seminars, scientific and
technical discussions and visits to sites of technical interest and to
exhibitions relating to technical subjects. All such activities are open to the
public.
