Fellowship of the Collaborative Research Center 1772
Fellowship for Female Master's Students
The Collaborative Research Center 1772 operates at the interface of physics and chemistry, investigating heterostructures composed of molecules and two-dimensional materials. Around 60 researchers across 19 subprojects study hybrid systems consisting of organic molecules and ultrathin crystalline material layers.
The Collaborative Research Center Heterostructures of Molecules and Two-Dimensional Materials actively supports women in physics by awarding a monthly scholarship of 992 euros to female master’s students of physics or chemistry at Freie Universität Berlin.
PhD students working in the Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG) of CRC 1772
