In the current "Förderatlas 2024" published by the German Research Foundation (DFG), Münster ranks first regarding the subject of mathematics (€21 million in funding, alongside TU Berlin). The DFG Funding Atlas is published every three years and provides comprehensive metrics on public research funding in Germany. The current edition covers the period from 2020 to 2022. [de]

This year’s von Kaven Prize from the German Research Foundation (DFG) is awarded to Prof. Dr. Thomas Nikolaus. The prize honours mathematicians for outstanding research achievements. Thomas Nikolaus, spokesperson of our Cluster, conducts research in the fields of homotopy theory and K-theory, at the intersection of topology and algebra.

The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1450 "inSight – Multiscale imaging of organ-specific inflammation" at the University of Münster, which has been running since January 2021, will receive approximately 13 million euros from the German Research Foundation (DFG). The second funding period of four years will start in January 2025. Our researchers Prof. Dr. Christian Engwer and Prof. Dr. Benedikt Wirth are involved as investigators in this CRC. Other members of Mathematics Münster contribute to several "inSight" projects.

Scientists from our Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, the "Hausdorff Center for Mathematics" (Bonn) and "MATH+" (Berlin) will show in digital workshops and lectures the fascination of mathematics - from 3 pm to midnight. Don't miss Prof. Gustav Holzegel's talk "Die Mathematik schwarzer Löcher" at 10 pm.

Point processes are one of the main building blocks in the description of many spatial random systems. This autumn school aims to foster exchange between young and established researchers and to explore modern research on point processes and their dynamics.
