The International Max Planck Research School on Moduli Spaces is a doctoral programme based at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and jointly offered with the University of Bonn through BIGS Mathematics. It focuses on moduli spaces and related areas across algebra, differential geometry, topology, and mathematical physics. PhD researchers in the school join a structured research environment with courses, mini-courses, seminars, and lecture series tailored to the needs of IMPRS fellows. The programme is designed to complement the PhD training at the University of Bonn while connecting students to the research environment of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics. Research directions span arithmetic geometry, geometric Langlands theory, topology, representation theory, number theory, modular forms, Teichmüller theory, complex algebraic geometry, global analysis, and mathematical physics. Students may work with MPIM directors, other IMPRS board members, and additional faculty at the institute or the University of Bonn. The programme offers an international, English-language research setting with support for accommodation and arrival-related matters for new students.
