- Description/content
- The International Max Planck Research School links the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics with the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems, Halle, to carry out research into novel atomically engineered materials for nanosystems - tackling grand societal challenges in the fields of information technology and sustainability.
The primary areas of advanced research include Spintronics, Oxides and Interfaces, Atomically Engineered Materials, Computational Materials Discovery, Topological Materials, Non-Equilibrium Materials, and Routes to Room Temperature Superconductivity.
IMPRS-STNS fosters interdisciplinary research, provides courses in entrepreneurship, offers support with technology transfer, and provides career counselling for admitted PhD students.
We provide outstanding young scientists with a doctoral contract to cover their living expenses during their journey to a doctorate. Candidates are selected through a competitive process. English is the language of instruction for all courses and is also the working language in the laboratories.
