Join us to invent future

The intention of the newly founded Collaborative Research Centre (CRC TRR) 358 „Integral structures

in geometry and representation theory“ - funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and

based at Bielefeld, Paderborn and Bonn - is to establish an internationally visible centre of mathemat
- ical research in the region of East Westphalia. The CRC pursues a broad research program in the

fields of algebraic combinatorics, automorphic forms, arithmetic and complex algebraic geometry, cat
- egorical representation theory, geometric group theory, harmonic analysis on locally symmetric

spaces and theory of affine buildings.

The CRC TRR 358 will create an attractive research environment with many guests, seminars and

workshops and offers extensive funds for business trips.
