MATH+ welcomed Laura Chaubard, Director General and Acting President of École Polytechnique (l’X, Paris), to Berlin for a special Women’s Lunch. The event offered an opportunity to engage with a distinguished female academic leader and discuss the opportunities and challenges facing women in STEM.

In her interview with MATH+, Caroline reflects on her mathematical journey in Uganda, and her collaboration with her host Dominic Bunnett (TU Berlin). She also shares advice for young women considering a career in mathematics.

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!

The second and final Network Meeting for the YAM Cohort 2025/26 was hosted by MATH+ in Berlin 6-7 July 2026. The seven 2025/26 Fellows of the Young African Mathematicians (YAM) Fellowship met with the coordinators of the YAM Network from the four German Clusters of Excellence in mathematics to celebrate the conclusion of their fellowships.
