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 />
