About us

"Mathematics Münster: Dynamics – Geometry – Structure" brings together around 200 mathematicians from a wide range of mathematical disciplines, conducting research in Münster. Together, we form a dynamic and internationally renowned research community.

Since 2019, Mathematics Münster has been funded as a Cluster of Excellence at the University of Münster through the Federal and State Governments’ Excellence Strategy. The Cluster advances cutting-edge research by implementing integrated approaches to solve fundamental problems across various mathematical disciplines. These approaches combine different techniques, perspectives, or fields of expertise to address challenges comprehensively. Mathematics Münster is embedded in an excellent research environment and maintains close collaboration with several Collaborative Research Centres (CRCs) as well as interdisciplinary research centres.

Where we are

Mathematics Münster is located on the Mathematics Campus in the city of Münster in North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany, not far from the Schloss (seat of the University administration). The Centre for Mathematics Münster (CMM) is currently being built here, a research building in which mathematicians will find a place for exchange and communication from 2027.

Members of the German Bundestag visit Mathematics Münster

Last week, two members of the German Bundestag visited our Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster. Dr. Stefan Nacke (CDU) and Svenja Schulze (SPD) gained insights into the structure and work of the Cluster and learned more about our plans for the second funding period, which will begin on 1 January 2026.

Start of new Research Training Group

The Research Training Group "Rigorous Analysis of Complex Random Systems" officially starts today. Its aim is to provide young researchers with comprehensive training in the fields of probability theory and applied analysis. For the initial five-year funding period, the German Research Foundation (DFG) will provide more than four million euros. On 29 October 2025, there will be the Opening Colloquium.
