German companies have shaped the optical landscape with iconic brands like Leica and Zeiss for decades. Nowadays, our everyday digital life relies on optical technologies: We use smartphone cameras to submit documents, stream movies online via optical fibres, weld cars with lasers and diagnose illnesses with 3D imaging. At Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), around 120 scientists of the Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD: Photonics, Optics, and Engineering - Innovation across Disciplines are working on the next evolutionary step - novel integrated optics. With the advanced technology, the researchers plan to take mechanical engineering and production processes to a new level and build a production platform. Now
Max Planck funding contracts remunerated according to the DFG funding rates since 1 January 2021
What had been prepared over a long period of time has finally come to fruition: the Joint Science Conference (GWK – Gemeinsame Wissenschaftskonferenz) has granted the Max Planck Society its approval to apply the DFG-German Science Foundation’s gold standard in compensation for doctoral researchers. The new contract details were published on December 14, 2020 within the Max Planck Society’s Organisational Manual (OHB).
As of January 1, 2021, all doctoral researchers with Max Planck funding contracts will be compensated according to the DFG’s funding rates.
