The Max Planck School "Matter to Life" offers students a unique training program.

Developing and implementing interactive materials cannot be done in an ‘ivory tower’. Thus, in many research projects, the scientists of the DWI – Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials are cooperating with universities and other research institutes and companies in Germany and throughout the world.

The DWI - Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials is an independent research institute that is part of the Leibniz Association and is located on the Melaten campus of RWTH Aachen University. The institute is a registered association whose various organs set the course for successful research work.

As a research institute, the DWI takes on the challenge of surpassing disciplinary limits and tackling new questions relating to substances and materials that combine technology and nature.
