Abel Prize for Gerd Faltings

We congratulate Prof. Dr. Gerd Faltings on receiving the Abel Prize 2026! His ideas and results have reshaped the field of arithmetic geometry. Faltings studied in Münster, where he completed his doctorate (1978) and his habilitation (1981). In 2012, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. Several members of Mathematics Münster describe the impact of Faltings' work on their research and share personal memories.

Hendrik Weber in the publication "Twelve Months, Twelve People"

With the publication "Twelve Months, Twelve People – Portraits 2025", the University of Münster presents a slightly different kind of annual review. The recently published brochure features individuals who achieved outstanding accomplishments over the past year. In May, the focus is on our "Bridging the Gaps" professor Hendrik Weber.
