Berlin Mathematical School
The Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) is a joint graduate school of the three renowned math departments of the public research universities in Berlin: Freie Universität, Technische Universität Berlin, and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The BMS is the one of the assets in Berlin’s academic landscape. In October 2006, the BMS was awarded one of the 18 prestigious graduate school awards by the Excellence Initiative of the German Federal Government for its innovative concept, its strong cross-disciplinary focus, and its outstanding teaching schedule tailored to the needs of students in an international environment. This was reconfirmed on 15 June 2012 when the DFG announced that the BMS will also receive funding for a second period until 2017. The chairs of the BMS are Jürg Kramer, Konrad Polthier and John M. Sullivan.
