Mathematics and computer science are dynamic key technologies of growing importance and appeal. Their classical fields of application include physics and engineering, but innovation in biology, medicine, and the social sciences is also increasingly driven by mathematical and algorithmic methods. The foundations for tomorrow’s applications are laid by today’s mathematical research. For many years, the mathematical institutes at the University of Münster have ranked among the most renowned in Germany.

Münster looks back on a long tradition of outstanding mathematical research, reflected in numerous prestigious distinctions, including several Leibniz Prizes and other major research awards. At the University of Münster there is also a vibrant exchange between first-rate fundamental mathematical research and cutting-edge applications across a wide range of disciplines.
