The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) «The Life Course:
Evolutionary and Ontogenetic Dynamics (LIFE)» is a joint international
PhD Program of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, the
Freie Universität Berlin, the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the
University of Michigan, the University of Virginia, and the University
of Zurich.
The goal of the Research School is the study of the systematic changes
in human behavior over evolutionary and ontogenetic time. The general
approach is aimed at advancing the behavioral and social science of
human development. LIFE takes an integrative and interdisciplinary
approach to understanding human development in a changing world,
connecting evolutionary, ontogenetic, historical, and institutional
perspectives. The focus is on the evolution and interaction of
individual and institutional development.
The curriculum combines psychology, educational science, neuroscience,
and biology, focussing especially on the dynamics of human behavior on
different time scales.
