MathCoRe stands for Mathematical Complexity Reduction - a Research Training Group (RTG) located at Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg (OvGU). The RTG is a Graduiertenkolleg (DFG-GRK 2297) funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Headed by the Faculty of Mathematics (FMA) it is run as a cooperation with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) and the Max Planck Institute for the Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems(MPI)

The combination of expertise from different mathematical areas under the theme of Complexity Reduction provides the RTG with a unique profile that specifically shapes the scientific understanding of the young researchers graduating within the RTG. A fundamental goal of our Philosophy is to make the PhD students work on projects that connect several mathematical areas and to let them profit from supervision by two principal investigators with different mathematical backgrounds. In order to ensure the success of our doctoral students they participate in a tailored structured study program. It contains training units in form of compact courses and weekly seminars, encouraging early integration into the scientific community and networking.

Funding by DFG in two periods (from April 1, 2017 until September 30, 2021 and from October 1, 2021 until March 31, 2026) has been allowing the RTG to support up to 16 PhD students and a PostDoc in parallel to work on their respective research projects. To further promote scientific exchange there are additional PhD students and PostDocs with external funding associated. For a list of current fellows, see here.
