Faculty
The Faculty of the IMPRS-SHH consists of scientists from the MPI-SHH, FSU, and other institutions characterized by their scientific excellence, a research focus that aligns with the IMPRS program and the willingness to contribute actively to the program (especially to the educational formats and contents of the IMPRS training program).
The duties of the faculty include in particular the supervision of PhD students. Its members collect ideas for joint projects and help to prepare calls and select new IMPRS students.
Due to the current joint restructuring of the MPI-SHH in Jena and the MPI-EVA in Leipzig the content of this page will be continuously updated.
