Welcome

The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) exploits the successful research network between the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics and 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 nano-systems which tackles grand societal challenges in the fields of information technology and sustainability.

Research areas

• Spintronics
• Oxides and Interfaces
• Atomically Engineered Materials
• Computational Materials Discovery
• Topological Materials
• Non-Equilibrium Materials
• Routes to Room Temperature Superconductivity

Our vision

Our mission

IMPRS-STNS will link with partner universities in Asia, North America and Europe by funding international exchange internships for PhD students admitted to the IMPRS-STNS, a buddy program, and stipends for foreign PhD students to carry out research in Halle.

In addition, we will develop e-learning programs, especially to foster interdisciplinary research, provide transferable skills courses, and provide career counseling for the admitted PhD students. From excellent education to a first job is another key focus of the program to build a strong alumni community.

We look forward to receiving your application.
