Max-Plack-Institut (IMPRS-LM): International Max Planck Research School for Living Matter
The International Max Planck Research School for Living Matter: from molecules to dynamics (IMPRS-LM) offers an international, interdisciplinary, and modern PhD program for young scientists that are interested in dissecting the molecular, chemical and physical properties that characterize bio-molecular interactions.
Graduate School of Biomedical Science
BIOME
The Graduate School of Biomedical Science at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany has been founded to integrate all PhD and MD graduates within the Faculties of Biology and Medicine into a cutting-edge interdisciplinary study programme tailored to ensure that they receive an outstanding, globally focused academic education. Additionally, BIOME has created an intramural umbrella organisation for the research foci through the erection of a synergetic framework between the research training groups (RTGs), collaborative research centres (CRCs) and the BIOME thematic cores.
Water Graduate School at the University of Duisburg-Essen
Water Graduate School
The aim of the Water Graduate School (WGS) is to create a comprehensive structured program for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in water research at the University of Duisburg-Essen. The WGS is located at the ZWU and at the profile focus „Water Research“. The Water Graduate School will be open to all doctoral and postdoctoral researchers working on water-related research topics. In addition to the overall topic „water“, all members will be assigned to three different core areas of research based on their research topic (water quality; urban water cycle; or biodiversity), which will allow specific offers based on the topic (e.g., workshops, summerschools etc.). Furthermore, all postdoctoral researchers have the option to select a so-called „focus“ (supervision; teaching; or project management) in order to be best prepared for their future career path through special offers (e.g., soft skill workshops, mentoring, etc.). Well-established training structures (e.g., GC-Plus, RAR, etc.) will be complemented with innovative new ideas. The WGS structure will be based on a „training program“ already implemented in the IRTG of the CRC RESIST 1439 and will include an (interdisciplinary) supervisory team consisting of two academic mentors and one non-academic mentor. All members of the Water Graduate School will have access to and benefit from the excellent network of the ZWU.

Integrated Research Training Group CRC Resist 1439
IRTG CRC RESIST 1439
All doctoral researchers of the CRC RESIST 1439 are part of the Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG) (from the University Duisburg-Essen and six external institutions in Bochum, Cologne, Koblenz/Landau, Kiel, Berlin and Magdeburg), which provides a platform for multi- and interdisciplinary education and training. The IRTG is coordinated by Verena Brauer, Vanessa Wirzberger, Bernd Sures and Michael Eisinger (see management team) together with the Centre for Water and Environmental Research (ZWU) at the University of Duisburg-Essen. The IRTG is training an outstanding next generation of scientists with integrative skills in analyzing stream ecosystems and multiple stressor effects from the molecular to the ecosystem level.
