Our Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) hosts two graduate programs within the framework of International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS): the IMPRS Physics of Light (PL) and the IMPRS Physics and Medicine (PM).
Both programs are based on a collaboration with the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU).
To learn more about our IMPRS programs, be welcome to browse through our sub-pages.
