MPIM

MPIM commonly refers to the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, a research institution of the Max Planck Society located in Bonn, Germany. It is dedicated to fundamental mathematical research and to fostering international collaboration among mathematicians.

The institute focuses on a broad range of mathematical disciplines, including algebraic geometry, number theory, representation theory, differential geometry, analysis, and mathematical physics. Researchers at MPIM work on theoretical problems, often spanning multiple subfields, with an emphasis on deep conceptual understanding and rigorous methods.

MPIM supports its research program through a combination of permanent staff, visiting scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and long-term research groups. It hosts seminars, workshops, and conferences that bring together mathematicians from around the world, facilitating collaboration and the exchange of ideas. The institute also engages with the broader scientific community through collaborations with universities and other research organizations.

As part of the Max Planck Society, MPIM is one of several institutes created to advance mathematics at a high international level. It sustains an international environment that attracts researchers for extended stays and contributes to the training and development of early-career scientists. The institute’s work aims to produce new mathematical insights, support rigorous scholarship, and strengthen global mathematical research networks.
