BERLIN, MAY 14th, 2019

The decision of the German Research Foundation to support the MATH+ Cluster of Excellence gave reason to the Grand Opening. On 14 May 2019, 800 invited guests met in the Berlin Kosmos and spent entertaining moments together and celebrating the great success that is an outstanding achievement for the city of Berlin and for science in Berlin. Among the guests were many renowned scientists and numerous politicians such as State Secretary Steffen Krach.

MATH+, the Berlin Mathematics Research Center, is a cross-institutional and transdisciplinary Cluster of Excellence where researchers will explore and further develop new approaches in application-oriented mathematics. Emphasis is placed on mathematical principles for using even larger amounts of data in life and material sciences, in energy and network research, and in the humanities and social sciences. The aim is to boost not only scientific progress, but also technological innovation and the comprehensive understanding of social processes.
