Three speakers at IMC 2026 from Bonn Mathematics
With Dennis Gaitsgory, Jessica Fintzen and Valentin Blomer, three mathematicians from Bonn have received an invitation to the next International Congress of Mathematics (ICM), which will take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from July 23 to 26, 2026. Dennis Gaitsgory, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, who was recently awarded the Breakthrough Prize, will give one of the particularly renowned plenary lectures. The ICM is the most influential conference in the field of mathematics. During the opening ceremony of the congress, many prestigious awards such as the Fields Medal will be presented.
Stefan Hartmann appointed “Mathemacher” by the DMV
Stefan Hartmann, who is responsible for outreach and science communication at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM), was named “Mathemacher der Monate Juli und August” by the German Mathematical Society (DMV).
Bonn Mathematics Mourns Death of Günter Harder
The Mathematical Institute of the University of Bonn, the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics mourn the death of Günter Harder, who passed away on Tuesday, June 10, at the age of 87. Günter Harder was a professor at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Bonn for about thirty years, a member of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics, and a scientific member of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics since 1991 and director from 1995 to 2006. His work area was arithmetic geometry and number theory, and after his retirement he remained a very active emeritus director. We have lost a wonderful person and a great mathematician who will be deeply missed!  
New Collaborative Research Center for Bonn Mathematics
The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; DFG) approved a new Collaborative Research Center (Sonderforschungsbereich; SFB) at the University of Bonn. A team of 19 principal investigators and their working groups will study the mathematical structures underlying complex phenomena in areas of criticality. The spokesperson of the CRC is Leibniz Prize winner Professor Angkana Rüland of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics. The Collaborative Research Center will receive nearly four years of DFG funding of approximately seven million euros.
