• Workshops cover a range of advanced methods from various disciplines of direct relevance to the PhD researchers of IMPRS-µLife. Transferable skills workshops are also offered to acquire competences in project planning and management, communication, and career development.

• Retreat is held as a three-day event every second year to intensify scientific and personal relationships within IMPRS-µLife.

• Participation in international scientific conference(s) is encouraged to establish an international network.
