The iRTG offers a structured qualification program in scientific and key skills to all PhD students financed and associated to the CRC/TRR. Research focuses on Ultrafast Dynamics of Magnetic Order and Ultrafast Spin Currents. Its training is divided into research training in several laboratories and in different research contexts, as well as an external training program, which offers courses for key skills. The PhD students have many occasions to actively learn about the works of their colleagues in the CRC, to communicate science and to discuss their own scientific results. The scientific exchange is fostered by a set of opportunities, such as training in other than their own labs, tutorials, seminars and a retreat. [read more]

The graduate school is part of the collaborative research center “Ultrafast Spin Dynamics” (SFB/TRR 227) (Spokespersons: Prof. Dr. Martin Weinelt (FU Berlin), Prof. Dr. Georg Woltersdorf (MLU)), website
