We are Mathematics Münster

We aim to further develop mathematics in Münster into a research centre with high international visibility. We will tackle fundamentally important mathematical problems, viewing mathematics as an organic whole with countless interactions.

Mathematics Münster provides an umbrella integrating the four mathematical institutes of the University of Münster (Mathematical Institute, Institute for Analysis and Numerics, Institute for Mathematical Stochastics and the Institute for Mathematical Logic and Foundations of Mathematics) in order to foster collaboration between the 16 mathematical fields and scientific exchange.

New network connects oncology and AI research

The state of North Rhine-Westphalia is investing €200 million in the new research cluster AI4CancerCure.NRW, which aims to bring together expertise from different locations in the fields of oncology and artificial intelligence. As part of the initiative, the University Medical Centre Münster plans to establish a PRECISION.AI Oncology Centre, focusing on the development and application of innovative AI methods. The centre involves researchers from medicine, computer science, mathematics and data science. Prof. Dr. Mario Ohlberger from the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster is a member of the project team.
