Winter School:
„Tc on the rise - Novel Trends in Superconductivity“
Date: 3 - 6 December 2024
Location: Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart
Organizers: Eva Benckiser, Bernhard Keimer, Markus König, Andy Mackenzie, Dirk Manske
Registration is now CLOSED
The research at the International Max Planck Research School for Condensed Matter Science (IMPRS-CMS) at the Stuttgart Campus (University of Stuttgart and Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research) hosts an extraordinary array of research groups with a wide spectrum of expertise in fundamental condensed matter science.
Every company or institution can only be as good as the people working for it. Therefore we take great care to select excellent researchers with the right team spirit. The picture shows some of our Alumni on the first level of their professional career as Ph.D. student. Now all of them are pursuing successful careers in academia or industry. Have a look on the pages inside to meet some of our Principal Investigators, current students and Alumni in person.
Interested in a PhD in Condensed Matter Science?
IMPRS-CMS offers you a structured PhD program in one of the world's leading solid state research institutes. More than 40 distinguished and internationally recognized group leaders are actively involved in the IMPRS-CMS program and offer innovative PhD projects.
Join our community!
The current call for applications opens from August 1st until September 30th 2024!
Alumna Eva Zurek has been named a SUNY Distinguished Professor
Congratulations!
Eva Zurek was one of the first students of the IMPRS-AM, (the predecessor of IMPRS-CMS). One month ago, she was appointed as a SUNY Distinguished Professor, the highest faculty rank in the SUNY system. She has also been nominated as a finalist for the upcoming Falling Walls Science Sumit in the Physical Sciences category.
