LIFE in Publications

The International Max Planck Research School LIFE should be mentioned in your publications, especially those related to your dissertation. Please refer to LIFE in a footnote or in the authors' note, e.g., like this:

"During the work on her dissertation, XYZ was a pre-doctoral fellow of the International Max Planck Research School on the Life Course (LIFE, www.imprs-life.mpg.de; participating institutions: Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, University of Zurich)."

If your publication relates to research you have done at one of our partner institutions in the US, you could add:

"The dissertation work was also supported by a stipend/travel grant from the International Max Planck Research School LIFE."

We would also like to urge you to include LIFE in your CV. In the US, you may want to do this in the "Awards" section, in Europe you would list LIFE in the "Education" section of your CV.

Please make sure that LIFE is mentioned somewhere "visible" in your publications and CV!
