IMPRS-QST Summer School
IMPRS-QST students hold their annual Summer School two days prior to the MCQST2025 Conference. As an essential component of the graduate school, the students themselves design the event agenda. This gathering serves as a platform for all IMPRS-QST students to engage in idea exchange, gain fresh perspectives from Alumni, draw inspiration from industry career talks, and gain insights into the latest research from esteemed experts in specialized lectures. Furthermore, the Summer School features four workshops aimed at enhancing the students' soft skills.
Please note that the Summer School is open to IMPRS-QST students only!
