International Cooperation
International cooperation is of paramount importance for the school, therefore it is extensive and diverse. IPS professors directly collaborate with the leading research groups from nearly 100 universities, where they also include their students. The IPS students are directly involved in EU projects as well as other national or international projects. Within this framework, the students broaden their knowledge also at foreign universities and institutes, while visiting professors also regularly hold lectures at the IPS. Supervisors also organise postdoctoral studies at leading international universities and institutes for their best students.
