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. 

Apply now for doctoral positions at Mathematics Münster until 15 April 2026! You can also apply for an Ada Lovelace Fellowship. Join our vibrant, collaborative, and internationally connected research community in Münster and take the next step in developing your own research project.

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.

For the third time, Thomas Leblé (Université de Paris Cité) returns as a Münster Research Fellow to Mathematics Münster. He works in probability theory and mathematical physics. In March, he will continue his collaboration with Martin Huesmann.
