Young Scientist Workshop at Castle Ringberg

21 Jul 2025, 08:00 → 25 Jul 2025, 16:30 Europe/Berlin

Annette Sturm, Frank Daniel Steffen (Max-Planck-Institut für Physik ), Giulia Zanderighi (Max-Planck-Institut für Physik ), IMPRS EPP Frank Steffen (Max-Planck-Institut für Physik )

This years IMPRS Young Scientist Workshop takes place at Castle Ringberg (located at Lake Tegernsee). More details on the castle can be found at: www.schloss-ringberg.de.

It is our yearly one week retreat (Mo-Fr) at which PhD researchers are expected to attend and to give presentations. Moreover, IMPRS alumni are invited to talk about their new activities outside of the academic world. In addition, key lectures may be offered by invited international experts in the respective fields. Finally, there are dedicated discussion sessions reserved for student specific topics.
