Cooperation, Networks and
Joint Educational Programmes

There are several ongoing types of cooperation amongst different partners at the site, such as joint scientific projects, thematic networks and joint appointments. A close cooperation also exists between the university and non-university research institutions for the education of highly-qualified early stage scientists.

Besides the Graduate School of Potsdam University there is an interdisciplinary programme for doctoral students in the field of systems biology as part of the research project GoFORSYS. In addition, at all three Max Planck Institutes there are International Max Planck Research Schools (PhD programmes) for different subjects.
