Max Planck School Matter to Life

The Max Planck School Matter to Life offers a graduate program that consists of a two-year Master phase and a three-year PhD phase, as well as ten-week research internships for undergraduate students. MtL students benefit from modern research facilities and cutting-edge technology, our broad nationwide network and full funding as well as medical insurance support.

In the emerging field of Matter to Life, we explore the questions "What, exactly, is life?" and "Can life-like processes, functions and objects be quantitatively simulated, predicted and created in the laboratory?" together with our MtL students and about 60 outstanding scientists from different institutions across Germany.
