Participating Institutions

The Neurosciences Program / International Max Planck Research School is member of the Göttingen Graduate Center for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB), which has been funded by the German Excellence Initiative, under the umbrella of the Georg-August University School of Science (GAUSS). It is conducted jointly by the participating departments and research groups of the

• University of Göttingen,
• University Medical Center Göttingen,
• European Neurosciences Institute Göttingen (ENI-G),

and its renowned non-university research partners

• Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences (MPI-nat),
• Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-ds).

Beyond their active participation in the Neurosciences Program, the above-mentioned institutions and faculty members also cooperate in various local interdisciplinary doctoral programs and research alliances including

1. the other PhD programs of the Göttingen Graduate Center of Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB),
2. further MSc and PhD programs at the University of Göttingen and University Medical Center Göttingen in related fields:
   • Microbiology, Biotechnology and Biochemistry
   • Developmental, Neural, and Behavioral Biology
   • Molecular Medicine
   • Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

3. DFG-funded Collaborative Research Centers (CRC; Sonderforschungsbereiche):
   • CRC 1690: "Disease Mechanisms and Functional Restoration of Sensory and Motor Systems"
   • CRC 1528: "Cognition of Interaction"
   • CRC 1286 "Quantitative synaptology"
   • CRC 1002 "Modulatory units in heart failure"
   • CRC 889 "Cellular mechanisms of sensory processing"
