The education and training offer comprises acquirement of scientific tools (mainly analytical methods), soft skills, and a broad scientific background.
The DPMS unites the doctoral students and senior teaching scientists of the traditional disciplines mineralogy, material sciences, petrology, biogeosciences, geochronology, and archeometry from the universities of Fribourg, Genève, Lausanne, Neuchâtel. It is open to other doctoral students and researchers from other fields and other universities.
