The cluster of excellence is established as Center of Excellence "Hausdorff Center for Mathematics" at the University of Bonn. The structure of the Center is in accordance with criteria specified by the university administration and the German Research Foundation (DFG), our funding agency.
The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics is formed by about 50 professors of the following six institutes: the Mathematical Institute, the Institute for Applied Mathematics, the Research Institute for Discrete Mathematics, the Institute for Numerical Simulation, the Institute for Economics and Social Sciences and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn as external cooperation partner.
The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics bundles research in mathematics and mathematical economics in Bonn spanning from the classical core over quantitative modelling in the natural and social sciences to technological applications. This concentration is to create new crossing links and to ensure a consistently high standard of quality.
The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics organises research activities in various research areas.
Structurally the Hausdorff Center has three important tasks:
(1) Creating an infrastructure for an international guest programme which offers long-term semester programmes dedicated to a broad theme covering all areas of mathematics and mathematical economics. The Hausdorff Center aims to position itself as a service provider for the worldwide scientific community.
(2) Promoting young scientists by creating eight temporary professorships modelled after the German Research Foundation Emmy Noether Programme, funding 15 project-related postdoc positions and granting 30 stipends for graduate students within the framework of a graduate school.
(3) Broadening the local basis primarily by creating five new permanent W3-professorships. The funding of the five permanent chairs will be transferred to the university when the German Research Foundation funding expires. The five professorships are a net gain for the six participating institutes. With the creation of the professorships we aim to complement the faculty spectrum with outstanding individuals, to attract senior scientists from abroad (back) and to install a candidate-driven search and hiring process.
