Every year during the autumn school holidays, INM organizes the Werkstoffferien (\u201cMaterials Science Holiday\u201d) student internship program in cooperation with the Association of German Engineers (VDI) and on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). The program typically gives four selected high school students the opportunity to gain in-depth insights into the world of materials science and the daily work of researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, three students chose to complete their internship at INM. What makes these young visitors from Bavaria particularly remarkable is that they are the national winners in chemistry of the 2026 Jugend forscht competition, Germany\u2019s most prestigious science competition for young researchers. Participation in the Werkstoffferien program is part of their award. Asked why they selected INM from the range of research institutions available to them, Lennart Antritter, Levi Jeki\u0107, and Alexander Kluge unanimously explained: \u201cINM was our first choice because a wide variety of materials science topics are researched under one roof.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
