This fall, the three Max Planck Schools - Cognition, Matter to Life, and Photonics - are looking foward to welcoming new students for the second time. We cordially invite you to attend the annual Max Planck Schools Day. We will celebrate the Max Planck Schools and their partners on September 11, 2020 from 2 p.m. (CEST) onwards.
The virtual event will showcase our cross-organizational initiative and highlight insights of our partners one year into the pilot phase. We are excited to hear from Professor Onur Güntürkün, one of our fellows, about his passion for science and how the passion feeds into the Max Planck Schools. Most of all, we want to provide the first and second student cohort of the three Max Planck Schools with a platform to meet and nework.
