Opportunities in Germany for mathematicians from Ukraine

The German Mathematical Society (DMV) aims to support mathematicians from Ukraine at all stages in their career who might consider a visiting position, scholarship or other forms of scientific long-term stays in Germany. In cooperation with Mathematics Münster, applications from mathematicians from Ukraine and offers from German mathematical institutions will be coordinated via this website.

Mathematicians from Ukraine on all career levels are invited to send requests to math-for-ukraine@uni-muenster.de

Please forward the link this website https://uni.ms/math-for-ukraine to those who may be interested!

Studying in Germany

The offers on this website are mainly directed at mathematical researchers. If you are a student, take a look at the website of the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service). It provides an overview of German universities which offer English Bachelor or Master programmes in mathematics.
