24.04.2019 | This year, ZMT launched a new initiative, the ZMT Alumni Fellowship. The ZMT Alumni Fellowship offers up to five alumni the opportunity for four-week research stay at ZMT (including travel costs and a scholarship). The aim of the fellowship is to encourage joint publications of ZMT researchers and alumni and to prepare research proposals together to foster cooperation between our Alumni network and working groups on the level of research. We are very happy that we could select five Alumni Fellows out of 19 very good applications from our Alumni network. Our Alumni Fellows will give a talk during the ZMT Wednesdday Lunchtime Series (dates to be scheduled).
