Snippets of the Network

I-Target’s partnership with the Harvard Immunology programs gave three doctoral students the great chance to meet their Immunology colleagues in Boston. They learned a lot about the current state of research in immunology, met many amazing people and made new contacts.

In the Elite Graduate Program "Physics Advanced” in Regensburg and Erlangen, the students work on research projects. The goal is to obtain a close insight into modern research.

In the winter semester 2018/19, the Elite Graduate Program "Human Biology - Principles of Health and Disease" started under the umbrella of the Elite Network of Bavaria. It is one of five newly established elite programs in the field of life sciences.

Prof. Pinelopi Goldberg (Yale) opens the academic year with a lecture on the unequal burden on regions through international trade.

Students of the Elite Graduate Program "Integrated Immunology” of the first year are preparing with great enthusiasm for their internship abroad, which is anchored in the curriculum.

"Standards of Decision-Making Across Cultures" requires students to spend their third semester in Beijing, where they have the opportunity to attend classes at the Beijing University. This significant part of their training in observing and analyzing sociocultural standards is made possible by a strong partnership with the European Centre for Chinese Studies.

The communication of research findings is an important key qualification in research and of essential relevance for society. The goal of the “Practice Transfer” project is to communicate the research conducted in the International Doctorate Program “REASON” in an understandable and accessible manner to diverse target audiences.

Mathias Unberath, a graduate of the Program “Advanced Optical Technologies”, has been hired as a professor by the John Hopkins University in the USA.

We are happy to report on considerable achievements in 2018 from the International Doctorate Program REASON.

Students of the Elite Graduate Program “Bavarian Graduate School of Computational Engineering“ participated in 2018 again in large numbers at the Ferienakademie in Sarntal (South Tyrol, Italy). This summer school was organized by the Technical University of Munich, the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, and the University of Stuttgart.
