On 17 November 2025, more than 120 MATH+ members gathered at Urania Berlin for the sixth MATH+ Day. The annual event—featuring the General Assembly, elevator pitches, and a poster session—provided a unique opportunity to share ideas, showcase projects, and network across the MATH+ community.
The MATH+ Day 2025 kicked off with the General Assembly, featuring reports from the Chairs’ Team—Claudia Schilling, Sebastian Pokutta, and Andrea Walther—on recent developments, ongoing challenges, future strategies, and upcoming activities across MATH+.
This was followed by a series of elevator pitches from Scientists-in-Charge representing specific research fields. They showcased new research directions and developments within the four MATH+ Application Areas—Energy, Health, Mobility, and Technology—and the three Emerging Fields—Learning-Informed Optimization, Multi-Agent Systems, and Decision Support for the Public Sector. The session also included updates from the Topic Development Lab, covering the Method Development Units (MDUs), and the Thematic Einstein Semester (TES).
The Application Areas drive interdisciplinary research projects that connect mathematicians with leading experts from a wide range of applied fields. The Emerging Fields focus on pioneering research that extends mathematical methods and expertise into new domains, including the social sciences and humanities.
The day concluded with a vibrant poster session showcasing results from more than 50 research projects. The posters sparked lively discussions and offered participants an excellent opportunity to explore ongoing research activities at MATH+, gain inspiration for new ideas, and initiate potential collaborations across scientific disciplines. The breadth of topics highlighted the diversity of mathematical applied-oriented research, from life sciences, transport and network research to material sciences, and the social sciences and humanities.
Overall, this year’s MATH+ Day once again provided an outstanding platform for discussion, networking, and the exchange of ideas, setting the stage for future research and collaboration.
