IMPRS-EPPC is newly founded at the Fritz Haber Institute and officially started operation on Jan 01, 2021. The research within the IMPRS-EPPC focuses on many different aspects of physical chemistry, with a particular emphasis on identifying the elementary process steps that are ultimately responsible for functionality.

Each university group and FHI department focuses their research efforts on a particular class of systems, scientific questions, and methodologies. Bringing together these different approaches into the overarching concept of the IMPRS-EPPC warrants a universal and interdisciplinary doctoral education program.

IMPRS-EPPC is now accepting applications until Oct 31, 2022. Please use the online portal to apply.

Admission to the IMPRS-EPPC requires a successful application to the program. Applications will be accepted only through the FHI online application platform, during fixed application periods twice per year. The application periods will be announced here.

Research Projects:
