MATH+ member Cecilia Clementi, a physicist and Einstein Professor at Freie Universität Berlin, has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for her project ProDyGe—“Protein Dynamics with Generalized Machine-Learned Potentials,” which focuses on simulation of biomolecular dynamics.
Knifflige Fragen, kreative Teamnamen und jede Menge Spitzenforschung: Das „Exzellente Pub-Quiz“ der Berliner Exzellenzcluster begeisterte bei der Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften 2026 an der HU Berlin mehr als 110 Teilnehmende. Ein gelungener Abend voller Wissen, Spaß und überraschender Erkenntnisse!
Gabriele Steidl—MATH+ Professor of Applied Mathematics at TU Berlin since March 2020—has been selected as one of the 2026-2028 CNRS Fellow-Ambassadors for her research in machine learning and image processing.
MATH+ and École Polytechnique (l’X, Paris) are reinforcing their ties and expanding their scientific collaboration. The partners signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 24 March 2026, during a visit by a delegation from the Chair of MATH+ to l’X.
Researchers have overturned a 150-year-old rule in classical geometry, originally proposed by Pierre Ossian Bonnet, which claimed a surface is uniquely determined by its metric and mean curvature. They constructed two distinct donut-shaped surfaces sharing both properties, creating the first compact ‘Bonnet pair’ and disproving
In the second interview with the 2025 Hanna Neumann Fellows (HNF), Monika from the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata, India, and Alice from the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) in Bonn, share insights from their research stay in Berlin in 2025. They also reflect on
Two “Young African Mathematician” Fellows share their academic journeys and first impressions of Berlin. In this interview, Kessel and Manuella talk about research and teaching cultures in Germany and Cameroon, life abroad in a new city, and their ambitions to pursue a PhD and make
650 Gewinner*innen der Mathe-Adventskalender von Mathe-im-Advent und MATH+ wurden am 23.01.2026 an der Freien Universität Berlin gefeiert. Vom 1.–24. Dezember lösten sie täglich mathematische Rätselaufgaben rund um das Thema „Energie der Zukunft“. Über 190.000 Teilnehmende aus ca. 70 Ländern und 8.000 Schulen beteiligten sich an
MATH+ scientists analyzed the 2022 mpox outbreak. At its peak in Berlin, over 200 new weekly cases were reported, mainly among men who have sex with men (MSM). Using mathematical simulations, the team examined contact patterns, behavior changes, immunity and vaccination that shaped the outbreak.
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.
