Since November 8, 2020, it is obligatory for people coming from high risk areas outside Germany to Baden-Württemberg to have a quarantine stay.
Due to worldwide travel restrictions in view of the corona pandemic the Mathematical Research Institute Oberwolfach (MFO) has limited additional capacity for small institutional collaborations in specific weeks before June 2021.
Because of the very positive feedback and high demand for this new fellowship, the possibility to apply for an Oberwolfach Research Fellowship is extended to end of June 2021.
The newsletter informs on the latest news, developments and activities of the MFO, in particular with regard to the re-opening of the institute and the measures concerning the corona-crisis.
In order to react to the current crisis the MFO offers the possibility to apply for an Oberwolfach Research Fellowship. Because of the very positive feedback and high demand for this new fellowship, the possibility to apply is extended to end of June 2021. Single researchers or groups up to four people can apply for a stay between two weeks and three months. Junior researchers and post-docs can apply for full scholarships and travel support.
Since June 21st the first hybrid workshops are taking place at the MFO. The concept works fine and the feedback of organizers and participants is consistently positive. We are also pleased, that we could welcome our guests in the Research in Pairs program and the Oberwolfach Leibniz Fellows program. Furthermore, the MFO offers the possibility to apply for an Oberwolfach Research Fellowship. Our guests on site benefit from the many opportunities to work in small groups with sufficient safety distance, both inside and outside.
The MFO publishes the video recordings of the annual Oberwolfach Lectures on its website.
The MFO is keeping a close eye on current developments and follows the instructions of the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg, the Federal Ministry of Health, the Robert Koch Institut (RKI) and the World Health Organization. New guidelines and recommendations may very quickly result in the adjustment of our measures. Please inform yourself regularly on our website.
The newsletter informs on the latest news, developments and activities of the MFO.
Beginning from 1 April 2020 Prof. Dr. Matthias Hieber will support our Director Prof. Dr. Gerhard Huisken in managing the Institute.
