Student Representatives
The PhD student representatives (StudReps) are the elected voice of our PhD students. This group is dedicated to preserving the high quality work and shaping the future of our program. They are members of many institute committees and represent the PhD student body. The StudReps organize a rich variety of predoc-driven activities, such as career day, retreats and symposia. They also represent the IMPRS in interaction with our DIPP partners and in the Biopolis Dresden community.

Max Planck PhD Net
Beyond our local PhD Student community, our PreDocs are also connected to peers working at other Max Planck Institutes. The Max Planck PhDnet is the official network of all Max Planck Society PhD students. The group manages a convenient web portal that facilitates communication between students, programs, and the society. The key goals are to strengthen internal organization and collaboration between sites. The Max Planck PhDnet can also be a valuable tool for career planning.
