Welcome!

The MPIDR welcomes the new cohort of the MaxNetAging Research School. Starting February 3, 12 participants from six countries will stay at the Institute for six month.

The MaxNetAging Research School (MNARS) is a stipend program launched by the MaxNetAging Network. The stipend program provides funding for doctoral and postdoctoral students. The young researchers come from various academic backgrounds, such as psychology, psycholinguistics, social anthropology, art history, biology or criminology, but will all devote their research to the multi-faceted topic of aging.

At the beginning of the first year, the PhD students and postdocs spend an initial period of six months at the MPIDR. During this time, the fellows are provided with basic instruction to extend their specialization towards a broader perspective on aging research. Following the initial period, the PhD students and postdocs continue their education and research projects at the Max Planck Institute they are affiliated with.
