2022 IMPRS-IS Boot Camp

This intensive training provides scholars with an interactive and immersive learning experience. Our boot camp is filled with scientific talks from our faculty and associated faculty, interactive panel discussions, scientific challenges, social activities, and more.

The 2022 IMPRS-IS Boot Camp will be held at the Tagungszentrum Blaubeuren in Blaubeuren, Baden-Württemberg. This off-site event will give our scholars an opportunity to network and team-build. Scholars will also hear scientific talks from various members of our IMPRS-IS faculty and associated faculty. IMPRS-IS scholars should block the dates in their calendar and plan to attend.

Below you can find an event agenda. This agenda will continue to be updated as the boot camp approaches. More pertinent event details will be added to this page at a future date. Thus, please refer to this page for the most up-to-date 2022 boot camp info.

If you have any questions about the boot camp, please contact the IMPRS-IS coordination office (imprs@is.mpg.de).
