Mission Statement

It is the goal of HEPP to provide excellent working conditions for your PhD research in the field of plasma physics, fusion research, computational physics and surface science.


All members of HEPP have agreed on the 'Terms of good practice in doctoral training in the International Helmholtz Graduate School for Plasma Physics' (see right column).


The HEPP combines a stimulating intellectual environment, access to state-of-the art laboratory equipment and supercomputers, and a dedicated training program with a broad spectrum of summer schools, special lectures, colloquia and workshops.

The know-how of the two universities, the associated partner institutes and the two sites of the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics is brought together to provide the basis for cutting edge research and education.
