MATH+ and its graduate school, the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS), celebrated their graduates, the Young African Mathematicians (YAM) Fellows, and the recipients of the 2025 MATH+ Dissertation Awards during a festive certificate ceremony on 10 July 2026 at Freie Universität Berlin.
MATH+ welcomes Guido F. Montúfar, Professor of Mathematics and Statistics & Data Science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), to the MATH+ community in Berlin as a Visiting Scholar, hosted by MATH+ member Benjamin Gess at Technische Universität Berlin.
In cooperation with the Einstein Foundation Berlin, the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) of the Cluster of Excellence MATH+ annually recognizes outstanding dissertations through the MATH+ Dissertation Awards. The 2025 awards were presented to Benedikt Gräßle, Moritz Grillo, and Vasily Rogov. Congratulations to all!

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
