Simons Visiting Professors program relaunched

(July 21, 2026) The Simons Visiting Professors (SVP) program has been relaunched, offering distinguished mathematicians from institutions outside Europe the opportunity to combine participation in an Oberwolfach meeting with a research visit to a European university or research institute.

The Simons Visiting Professors (SVP) program is funded by the Simons Foundation. Each year, the program supports up to 32 Simons Visiting Professors: distinguished scientists from outside Europe, who wish to combine an invitation to an Oberwolfach Workshop, Mini-Workshop or Arbeitsgemeinschaft with a research visit to a European university or research institute for up to three weeks. The program is designed to benefit the scientists, the MFO and participating institutions equally by making efficient use of travel funds and travel time in carefully planned combined visits. This also helps to disseminate new research results quickly from Oberwolfach activities directly to a wide audience of researchers and students at participating institutions.
