Public events and activities

We invite you to an afternoon, evening, and night full of mathematics! Researchers from the Mathematics Clusters of Excellence from Berlin, Bonn, and Münster will showcase the diversity and fascination of mathematics in online workshops and talks. You can join from  home - no registration required. The next digital "Mathenacht" will take place on 9 October 2026. (in German)

Am 17. September 2026 jährt sich der Geburtstag des großen Mathematikers Bernhard Riemann zum 200. Mal. Seine Ideen spielen auch heute noch eine wichtige Rolle in vielen mathematischen Bereichen, an denen auch am Exzellenzcluster Mathematik Münster geforscht wird. Melden Sie sich jetzt für die Theater-Aufführung "Wer war Bernhard Riemann" am 18. November 2026 an! Der Eintritt ist frei.

We regularly invite everybody who is interested to our public lecture series "Brücken in der Mathematik" (Bridges in Mathematics). Check out the video recordings of past lectures on our YouTube channel.  

Every year on 14 March ("Pi Day"), the International Day of Mathematics is celebrated worldwide — and we are joining in! Each year, around this date, we invite the public to take part in a variety of hands-on math activities. In addition, high school students can participate in the nationwide "Day of Mathematics Competition", which also includes lectures on current topics from mathematical research. Stay tuned for upcoming activities and take a look at impressions from past events.
   

Girls go Mathematics! Beim jährlichen Girls' Day haben Mädchen die Chance, bei uns die Berufswelt von Mathematikerinnen und das Studium an der Uni kennenzulernen. Zum Programm gehören eine Campus-Rallye, eine Schnuppervorlesung, Infos zum Mathematikstudium und zu Berufsperspektiven, Knobelaufgaben, ein Mensa-Besuch – und natürlich viel Spaß! Der nächste Girls' Day findet am Donnerstag, 22. April 2027, statt.

The Maths Trail Münster offers fascinating insights into Münster's history combined with mathematical puzzles. The challenges are designed for students from grade 7 and up, but younger and older participants are also invited to join the adventure. The tour can be started at any time, tailored to your preferences—and the weather! (in German)
