The IMPRS for Geometric Analysis, Gravitation and String Theory aims to promote research in mathematical physics in an area related in the widest sense to Einstein's theory of general relativity, ranging from pure mathematics (differential geometry and the theory of partial differential equations) to the physics of black holes, gravitational waves and cosmological applications of Einstein's theory and all the way to the most recent efforts to reconcile Einstein's theory with quantum mechanics in the framework of superstring theory and M theory. The school started operating in January 2004.

|
Students enrol in a doctoral program at one of the participating universities. Every student is assigned a primary and a secondary adviser by the executive committee. In addition to their research work students are expected to attend advanced lecture courses that are offered by the school. Moreover they are required to present progress reports of their work in regular intervals at local seminars. The Program, Dissertation and Exams are in English or German. The PhD should be completed within 2-3 years.
