2025 brought strong research, meaningful exchange during our Spring and Autumn Schools, the first joint Max Planck Schools Graduation Ceremony, and a growing MPSP community. We look forward to continuing this journey in 2026. Happy New Year!
#gradschool #passionforscience #physics #photonics #2026
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, we hope these days offer you a moment to slow down, and reconnect with the people around you, with yourself, or simply with the joy of curiosity that drives you.
Thank you for being part of a community shaped by a passion for discovery!
