Göttingen Graduate School for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB)

The successful work of the Göttingen Graduate School for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB) in the context of the Excellence Initiative will continue. More than 430 doctoral candidates currently belong to the GGNB, the operation of which is carried out by four Faculties of the University, three Göttingen Max Planck Institutes, and the German Primate Centre. The GGNB comprises twelve structured doctoral programmes, including three International Max Planck Research Schools. In this newly approved second funding period, the pioneering strategy of the GGNB, which plays a leading role nationwide, will be further developed. New measures will include refining the multi-stage admission procedure and extending the range of scientific methods and qualification courses. In addition, new opportunities will be created for post-docs, and international cooperations will be expanded.
