On 18 November 2022, the MATH+ community gathered for the MATH+ Day to elect the new Chairs of the Berlin Mathematics Research Center MATH+ and the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS). Both new Chairs will assume their positions for two years.

Michael Hintermüller of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin has taken over the role of the MATH+ Chair from Christof Schütte, Freie Universität Berlin, who had held the position since November 2020. Christof Schütte and Martin Skutella, Technische Universität Berlin, will be MATH+ Co-Chairs.

Holger Reich, Freie Universität Berlin, succeeds Jürg Kramer, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, as Chair of the BMS, the Graduate School of the Cluster of Excellence MATH+. Jürg Kramer had been Chair since November 2020.

The BMS leadership rotates every two years between the three participating universities, FU, HU, and TU Berlin. Gavril Farkas, Humboldt-Universität, and John M. Sullivan, Technische Universität Berlin, will serve as deputy chairs.

Congratulations!
