The integrated Research Training Group (iRTG) MibiNeⓍt will offer a targeted and interdisciplinary high-quality training for the next generation microbiologists. This tailored 4-year training programme aims to prepare early career researchers (ECRs, including doctoral researchers and postdoctoral researchers) for the interdisciplinary challenges of their individual research projects. The scientific training, including state-of-the-art and cross-disciplinary experimental and theory training, will be complemented by an individualised supervision and mentoring programme enabling them to successfully launch and sustain their professional careers.
