In cooperation with the Einstein Foundation Berlin, the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) of the Cluster of Excellence MATH+ awards up to four annual prizes for outstanding dissertations. The 2024 MATH+ Dissertation Awards went to Fabian Altekrüger, Svenja Griesbach, Federico Moretti, and Luisa Plato. Congratulations to all!

Im „Decision Theatre“ diskutierten junge Leute mit Expert*innen über Mobilität und nutzten mathematische Modelle. MATH+ Sprecherin Andrea Walther informierte bei einer interaktiven „BUA-Veranstaltung zu Exzellenzclustern“ über die MATH+ Forschung. Beim „Exzellenten Pub Quiz“ zeigten Teams Wissen zur Spitzenforschung.

A major success for Berlin’s mathematics community: MATH+ will continue to receive funding for another seven years as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German federal and state governments. The German Research Foundation (DFG) thus recognizes Berlin’s international leadership as a center for innovation in applications-oriented mathematics.

On 12 May 2025, MATH+ celebrates “International Women in Mathematics Day” by introducing the new MATH+ Hanna Neumann Fellows: Monika and Alice Marveggio, who have just arrived in Berlin for their research stays and collaborations at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

A research team around MATH+ Professor Max von Kleist has developed an ultra-fast, reliable, and cost-effective method for barcoding and demultiplexing direct-RNA (dRNA) sequencing data from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) devices—enabling more advanced experimental designs in epi-transcriptome research. These results were published in “Nature Communications”.

The Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS), an institute of the Leibniz Association, conducts application-oriented research aimed at solving complex mathematical problems in science and industry. It plays a significant role within MATH+ as one of its five partner institutions. The Leibniz Association's Senate recommended extending WIAS funding for another seven years.
