Engaging young People
We are committed to engaging young children, pupils and university students in the science we do.
These groups have different needs, and we are improving and expanding our specific programmes to meet them:
Interested in doing a PhD?
The quality of tomorrow's science depends directly on today's PhD students. We take very seriously the task of educating our PhDs and nurturing the first stages of their careers. The FMP offers a lively and stimulating environment for students including many events with our Campus neighbour, the MDC. The FMP also hosts the Leibniz-Graduate School for Molecular Biophysics which has attracted a number of talented students over the years.
Please follow the links on the left to find detailed information on PhD events and contacts.
Science fun for kids
Modern science is having such a profound impact on our lives that even children who do not pursue careers in research should be comfortable with what science is and how it is practised. We have been fostering hands-on learning among children and their carers, among pupils and their teachers. We collaborate widely with schools and are partners in Berlin's Long Night of Sciences. Our latest initiative is the FMP-ChemLab, a collaborative project with the Gläsernes Labor on Buch Campus.
