Boot camp
The livMatS boot camp brings together the cluster’s early career researchers to work on an array of soft skills and interdisciplinary science topics
Core lectures
These regular lectures - designed for early career researchers and Master Lab students - aim to enhance basic understanding across disciplines of key concepts in the cluster's research vision.
MasterLab
The livMatS MasterLab is an interdisciplinary, research-oriented extra-curricular program for Master students of the University of Freiburg. Within the program, students work on a research challenge autonomously under scientific guidance, attend soft skills training, and present their progress at an end-of-term colloquium
IDEASfactory@FIT
The IDEASfactory describes the concept of an ideal infrastructure for interdisciplinary scientific exchange at the Freiburg Center for Interactive Materials and Bioinspired Technologies (FIT) building.
Colloquia
livMatS regularly invites experts from outside and inside the cluster to present and discuss their research during the livMatS Colloquium and Special Colloquium.
