Scholarship Description: The “Cologne Graduate School of Ageing Research” is a joint graduate
programme formed by a merger of the University of Cologne CECAD Graduate School
and the International Max Planck Research School on Ageing (IMPRS AGE). We
jointly offer an outstanding education in the field of ageing and age-related
diseases and provide high-end, interdisciplinary research and comprehensive
education for young scientists aiming at a top career in aging research. Our
goal is to train a new generation of biomedical scientists who will make fundamental
scientific discoveries into the basic biology of ageing and may translate them
into improvements in health and life for people as they grow older.
