Our contributions to studies, doctoral programs, and training
Max Planck School of Cognition
Doctoral programme that offers particularly talented students the opportunity to acquire an exceptionally broad understanding of the various methods and research approaches in the rapidly developing field of cognitive science.
Master-of-Science programme Translational Neuroscience
The primary goal of the two-year Master of Science programme in Translational Neuroscience at Heinrich-Heine-University (HHU) Düsseldorf is to qualify a new generation of biomedical investigators with an excellent training in an interdisci-plinary research environment aiming at improving diagnosis and therapy of patients with neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (dual) B.Sc.
On average, we mentor six students on the dual degree programme in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (Bachelor of Science (FH)), combined with training to become a mathematical-technical software developer (MATSE).
Professional Training
We contribute to the Biological Laboratory Technician training program in the following ways: We offer cross-year courses on required qualifications, supervise trainees from various locations during the nine-month in-house training component as an elective qualification, and serve on the “Biological Laboratory Technician” examination board of the Aachen Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK). We also supervise trainees in the IT specialist for system integration program.
Bernstein Network
The Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience fosters a vibrant community for early-career scientists in computational neuroscience through networking, mentoring, and career-development initiatives. Alongside travel grants and dedicated peer-to-peer exchange formats at the Bernstein Conference, a centralized job board, and the Brains for Brains Young Researcher Award, the network ensures that students, PhD candidates, and postdoctoral researchers are actively represented within its organizational structure.
