Integrated Research Training Group

The integrated research training group (IRTG, MGK) ‘Junior HoMMage’ is part of the CRC 270 and aims at educating the next generation of magnetism researchers in Germany. The IRTG involves researchers from TU Darmstadt, University Duisburg-Essen, Max-Planck Institute for Iron Research and Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. We have 15 PhD students, 12 postdocs and further associates coming from a variety of disciplines such as Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry and Engineering. The integrated research training group ensures that young researchers receive excellent training in an outstanding network of experts at leading institutions. We intend to bridge the length scale of 250 km between our regions by push-button digital communication and joint working technologies including the development of suited data management systems.
