From school to research: this is possible at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics. Recently, mathematically talented and interested young people have been meeting there every Monday afternoon under the supervision of Regula Krapf and Henning Heller to conduct research together. The group is dedicated to questions relating to elementary mathematics and mathematics education. The results should lead to scientific publications and give high-school students an authentic insight into how mathematical research works.

Wolfgang Lück, professor at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Bonn and member of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics, has been awarded the Karl Georg Christian von Staudt Prize by the Otto and Edith Haupt Foundation at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. The foundation honors his outstanding contributions to topology. The award ceremony will take place on June 6, 2025.

Don Zagier, Director emeritus of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and associated member of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics, was elected as a new member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. The Accademia dei Lincei will officially welcome its new members at a ceremony that will take place in Rome on Friday 8 November 2024.

Ana Caraiani, former Bonn Junior Fellow and Hausdorff Chair at the HCM and now professor of pure mathematics at the Imperial College London, has been awarded the 2025 Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Mathematics by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). She has been honored for contributions to arithmetic geometry and number theory: in particular, the Langlands program.
