Research

© MM/vl

The aim of research at Mathematics Münster is the implementation of integrated approaches to solve important problems across different mathematical fields. We view mathematical research as an organic whole with countless connections between fields, and specifically promote the development of mathematical methods that lead to cross-disciplinary scientific breakthroughs.

Guided by the three unifying principles Dynamics–Geometry–Structure, we thoroughly analyse how mathematical objects dynamically evolve, consistently adopt a geometric perspective, and identify deeper, often hidden structures behind specific problems.

Interdisciplinary research on the dynamics of infectious diseases

Research at the new "Interdisciplinary Center for Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease Dynamics" (IMMIDD) , which had its Inaugural Symposium at the University of Münster on 10 July, aims to contribute to the fight against pandemics. Prof. Dr. Christian Engwer, a member of our Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, is involved in the center. In a guest article, he explains the role that numerical simulations play in this research. [de]

Excellence confirmed: "Mathematics Münster" receives continued funding

Great joy at Mathematics Münster: Today, Thursday (22 May), the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the German Science and Humanities Council (WR) announced that the Cluster of Excellence "Mathematics Münster: Dynamics - Geometry - Structure" will be founded for a further seven years from January 2026. This makes the Cluster one of 70 research centres at German universities that are being funded in the "first funding line" of the Excellence Strategy. They prevailed in the competition with a total of 98 applications.

Ralf Schindler and Katrin Tent invited to speak at ICM 2026

Prof. Dr. Ralf Schindler and Prof. Dr. Dr. Katrin Tent, both investigators at our Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, have independently been invited to present their research at the prestigious International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) being held in in Philadelphia, USA, in July 2026. In short interviews, you will learn what the invitation to the ICM means for the two researchers and gain an insight into the fields of research and the topics of the ICM talks.
