Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences

By Team WissensSpuren und MPI MIS

The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MPI MiS) is an internationally oriented research institute for mathematics whose research focus is particularly on the interaction between mathematics and other sciences. The institute’s name is understood as a philosophical and cultural mission: to view mathematics not merely as a modern and powerful tool for scientific applications, but also as a means to address fundamental questions in the sciences through its unique approach, thereby enriching mathematics itself. In addition to its academic mission, the institute is particularly committed to supporting early-career researchers, fostering both doctoral candidates and young scientists in their initial postdoctoral steps. A distinctive feature of the institute is its highly international guest program, which promotes global collaboration and exchange.
