International Max Planck Research School on Biomimetic Systems
The IMPRS on Biomimetic Systems is a international graduate program funded by the Max Planck Society and the State of Brandenburg. The school aims to give young motivated students research skills and strong theoretical and experimental background. Its major goal is to provide a common basis of knowledge on biomimetics which transcends the traditional boundaries between disciplines as different as physics, chemistry, and biology.
The location of the School is at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Golm-Potsdam and is run in collaboration with the University of Potsdam, with the Humboldt University in Berlin, with the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research and with the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering.
