Programs
Research at HIM is devoted to all areas of mathematics, mathematical economics, and interactions of mathematics with other sciences. It is carried out by guest scientists who take part in one of the programs at HIM:
Trimester Program (TP)
During a Trimester Program, which lasts four months, the Institute invites a group of mathematicians or economists from all over the world to carry out research with a special emphasis on collaborative activities. The Institute can host up to 30 mathematicians at any one time and tries to distribute these places between senior mathematicians, postdocs and PhD students. The theme of each program is open to suggestion via applications from groups of leading scientists. The applications are decided by the Scientific Advisory Board. The overall topic can come from all areas of mathematics, mathematical economy, and mathematical physics. During the programs one or the other workshop is organized as well as perhaps lecture series or schools. The stays are financially supported by the Institute. All preprints and publications developed within or as a result of the program should contain a reference to the DFG-funded HIM.
Junior Trimester Program (JTP)
The Institute selects a broad mathematical area and calls for applications of groups of excellent young scientists (PhD students, Post Docs, Junior Faculty), who want to carry out collaborative research. Individual applications are also allowed but only approved if the Institute can form a small research group from these applicants. The participants can organize small workshops and can take the initiative to invite a senior mathematician with whom they can carry out research together. The stays are financially supported by the Institute. All preprints and publications developed within or as a result of the program should contain a reference to the DFG-funded HIM.
The Junior Trimester Program is primarily for PhD students, postdocs, and young assistant professors. There is no strict limit for the admission of Junior Faculty. Applicants are expected to have completed their PhD thesis at most 7 years ago.
