Opening Conference:  2nd Funding Period of Mathematics Münster

In Honor of Bernhard Riemann’s 200th birthday

16 – 18 September 2026, Münster, Germany

The Cluster of Excellence 'Mathematics Münster: Dynamics - Geometry - Structure' has recently obtained continued funding for its second term, and the upcoming conference will serve as a celebration of this achievement. Much like the cluster bridges the full spectrum of mathematics at Münster -- from pure to applied -- the conference aims to unite prominent international mathematicians, cluster researchers, and early career scholars. This dynamic event will offer a platform for lively exchange across diverse areas of mathematics. We look forward to inspiring interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration, showcasing both external expertise and the innovation emerging from within our cluster.

We would be delighted to welcome you in Münster on this event.
