Welcome to the MPI MiS

Fundamental questions arising from natural and engineering sciences and economics have always inspired mathematicians to search for new mathematical structures and methods. The interaction between mathematics and the sciences forms the central point of research at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MiS) in Leipzig.

Heinz Maier Leibnitz Prize goes to Nicolas Perkowski (27.02.2019)

Nicolas Perkowski, research group leader at our institute and Junior-Professor at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, receives this year's Heinz Maier Leibnitz Prize of DFG (German Research Foundation). This prize is considered the most important award for young scientists in Germany.
