The institute offers various opportunities for undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs and faculty members.

Public Outreach

Our public outreach program aims to make scientific results accessible to the general public. Active scientists speak about their recent work and explain it to a lay public with an interest in natural sciences, or to school children of different ages.
