Target Group

Researchers with a novel approach to classical areas of mathematics such as geometry, numerical analysis, and partial differential equations, but also researchers exploring new interactions between mathematics and the sciences, in particular in the areas of complexity and cognition, discrete random geometry, efficient algorithms and scientific computing, materials science, fluid dynamics, mathematical biology, mathematical and theoretical physics, based on a strong background in analysis or geometry or in other formal disciplines. In particular, researchers from Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Far and Middle East are encouraged to apply.

Our Offer

• Scholarship for a period of 12-24 months
