Call for proposals for the establishment of interdisciplinary research groups in the new Interdisciplinary Center for Modeling and Simulation (IMoS)

The new research building for the Interdisciplinary Center for Model- and Simulation-Based Research (IMoS) is nearing completion at the end of 2022 on the East Campus of the TU Berlin in Fasanenstraße (behind the new mathematics building, which is also under construction). The goal of the 91b research building, which is funded by the BMBF, is to create space and ambience for productive interdisciplinary research that explores concrete products or processes in numerous high-tech areas - building on extensive mathematical modeling and analysis - using methods of simulation, control and optimization.

It is planned that numerous interdisciplinary research associations, such as special research areas, research groups or graduate schools on the subject of modeling, simulation and optimization will be housed in the IMoS building. Therefore, the IMoS - Application Team calls upon all departments of the TU Berlin to submit applications for the formation and accommodation of interdisciplinary research teams on the topics of modeling, simulation, and optimization by June 20, 2022 to the IMoS office via email to:

Volker Mehrmann (acting IMoS spokesperson)

The Faculty II - Mathematics and Natural Sciences congratulates Prof. Dr. Olga Smirnova on receiving an ERC-Advanced Grant from the European Research Council on the topic "Ultrafast molecular chirality: twisting light to twist electrons on ultrafast time scale".

Eight of the prestigious Advanced Grants of the European Research Council (ERC) with a total funding of up to 20 million euros go to researchers in Berlin. This was announced by the ERC on Tuesday, April 26.

This funding instrument, which provides for funding of up to 2.5 million euros each over a funding period of up to 5 years, will be used to carry out pioneering projects in Berlin at Freie Universität Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Charité Universitätsmedizin, the Max Delbrück Center, the German Rheumatism Research Center Berlin, and Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. - including in the fields of human genetics, neuroscience, and computer graphics.

The ERC grants are the highest endowed European research grants for individuals and at the same time the most important European award for outstanding researchers. They have been awarded annually since 2007 for the implementation of groundbreaking research projects.

On April 19, 2022, the lecture period for the summer semester 2022 begins at TU Berlin.

We welcome you from April 11-14, 2022 with the week for the start of the semester [5]!

Contact the experts of the TU Berlin to clarify your concerns about the new semester individually. During the week at the start of the semester, the central contact points of the university offer extended office hours for all students and newly enrolled students. An overview on the central website at the start of the semester shows you the most direct way to discuss your concerns.

At the start of the semester, introductory events [6] are held for the respective degree programs and introductory days [7] for newly enrolled international students at the TU Berlin.

All information on the start of studies [8] and on studying and teaching under pandemic conditions [9] can be found on the central websites. Detailed information on courses can be found in the TU Berlin course catalog [10].

Here you can find further information on the Mathematics-Service [11], which offers the mathematical modules for engineering, economics, etc.

Further information about the Chemistry and Physics Service can be found at ISIS [12] (Information System for Instructors and Students).

You would like to attend courses of Faculty II as a secondary student [13]? Find out more about how to apply for a side audience and contact marcel.koenig#at#tu-berlin.de by e-mail with the completed form [14].

Please regularly read the information provided by the TU Berlin crisis team [15] and the specific information on the topics of studies [16] in general as well as examinations [17].

Please inform yourself regularly about the latest status of conditions regarding studying and teaching under pandemic conditions, as the information situation can change constantly and at short notice.
