QUIP Summer- and Winter-Schools

For further education in the field of quantum technologies, we offer our QUIP summer and winter schools to all interested students. The schools teach scientific as well as technical and social skills according to a structured curriculum. The teaching units are held by members of the initiative as well as by external experts and are aimed in particular at doctoral students in the first phase of their doctorate.
