Due to the rather broad spectrum of topics within the IMPRS,  the curriculum consists of a core curriculum to be attended by all students and a variety of more specialized lectures and courses. The heart of our teaching program certainly is the Ringvorlesung. Each semester the Ringvorlesung focuses on one field and is usually delivered by scientific members of the IMPRS who introduce different approaches and visions within this field. From 2013 on, lectures have been video-recorded and can be downloaded (see the lecture overview page for every semester).
