The International Max Planck Research School for Condensed Matter Science (IMPRS-CMS) is a joint program of the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (MPI-FKF) and the University of Stuttgart. The MPI-FKF is one of the largest institutes in the Max Planck Society. It comprises eight research departments and a number of independent research groups with a total of about 500 employees. The objective of the MPI-FKF is high-quality fundamental research on condensed matter using advanced experimental and theoretical methods. The University of Stuttgart is one of the leading German research universities with a strong profile in engineering and natural sciences. A description of the whole range of research and top-notch facilities would be too long to give in detail here.
The precursor of the IMPRS-CMS was founded in 2002 as one of the first Max Planck graduate schools. On the basis of our rich experience in the training of doctoral students we have create an exciting,
