Every year, a cohort of approximately 18 students joins the International Max Planck Research School for Language Sciences.

These students are either:

1. Recruited specifically for the school through an IMPRS for Language Sciences fellowship (three positions available per year); or
2. Invited to join because they are outstanding students beginning doctoral positions in relevant research areas at one of the partner institutes. more>
