ERC-Advanced Grant awarded to Prof.<br />

Dr. Malle<br />

Prof. Dr. G. Malle, research<br />

group Algebra, Geometry,<br />

and Computer Algebra,<br />

has been awarded the<br />

ERC-Advanced Grant,<br />

which is the highest re-<br />

search award of the European Union. His<br />

research project “Symmetriegruppen” will<br />

be financed with 1.4 million Euro for the<br />

coming 5 years.<br />

The main aim of the ERC (European<br />

Research Council) is to promote quality<br />

research in Europe through competitive<br />

funding. In order to strengthen the European<br />

frontier research, only the brightest minds<br />

across all fields of science are supported.<br />

From 2,284 research proposals the ERC<br />

will merely support a dozen Mathematics<br />

projects in Europe – only two of them in<br />

Germany.<br />

Therefore it is a great honor for the University<br />

and especially the Department of Mathematics<br />

to be the “home” of such an outstanding<br />

researcher as Professor Malle.<br />
