As part of the Youth and Federal Volunteer Services, the Voluntary Scientific Year (FWJ) offers the opportunity to get a taste of everyday life in science for six to 18 months. As part of the FWJ, young people can immerse themselves in the various areas of our research groups after graduating from high school. Volunteers have been at the IMPT since 2021 and are supervised by the Volunteer Services Department at Hannover Medical School. Anyone who's interested can apply for the FWJ there until January 31st of each year and choose exciting projects.
