This was confirmed in 2017 in the Academic Ranking of World Universities (Shanghai Ranking) by a position among the 101-150 best Mathematics Departments worldwide. At the same time, Mathematics at UDE ranks among the top ten in Germany, on the same level with Bielefeld, HU Berlin, Freiburg, Kaiserslautern, Cologne as well as TU Munic, and behind Bonn, Erlangen-Nürnberg and Münster.
IFIP TC 7 Conference on System Modelling and Optimization
During the week from July 23 to 27, 2018, the international conference of the IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) TC 7 (Technical Committee 7) takes place in Essen.
Every two years this conference offers a rich program focussing on current research in the following areas: optimization with differential equations, inverse problems, mathematical modelling and numerical simulation. Besides plenary lectures by well-known experts on a number of topics with connections to mathematical optimization, plenty of minisymposia organized by junior researchers will take place.
The organisation committee, headed by Christian Clason from the Faculty of Mathematics of UDE, expects around 200 scientists from all over the world. As site of the meeting Essen finds itself in a row with such attractive cities as Nice, Klagenfurt, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Krakow and Turin.
