The Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) is a part of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. and a member of the Leibniz Association. The institute is based in Berlin’s district Mitte, and its research activities are associated with the fields of applied mathematics and mathematical basic research.
Since February 2011, the International Mathematical Union (IMU) Secretariat is located in Berlin at WIAS.
History
The Institute developed from the “Karl Weierstrass Institute for Mathematics” of the former German Academy of Sciences at Berlin. Due to a recommendation of the German Council of Science and Humanities, the institute was newly established on January 1, 1992.
The Institute is named after the Berlin mathematician Karl Weierstraß (1815-1897) who was well known for his profound processing of analysis.
Tasks
The main task of WIAS is the implementation of project-oriented research in applied mathematics, especially in applied analysis and stochastics. The research activity is oriented on specific application situations and is confirmed by cooperations with scientific institutions and the economy. It includes the entire spectrum of the solution, from mathematical modeling to mathematical-theoretical analysis of models, up to the development of algorithms and numerical simulation of technological processes.
Research at WIAS focuses on the following application areas:
- Nano- und Optoelectronics,
- Optimization and control in technology and economy,
- Materials modeling,
- Flow and transport,
- Conversion, storage and distribution of energy,
- Random phenomena in nature und economy.
Within these application areas, questions are investigated, that play a central role in the development of key technologies (e. g. materials science, manufacturing engineering, biomedical engineering), as well as applications in the economy (e. g. finances).
Services are not part of the tasks.
Cooperation
WIAS cooperates closely with university and non-university institutions and is involved in numerous joint research projects, for which additional funds are raised within the framework of competition procedures (e. g. of the German Research Foundation or the European Commission).
Intense relationships are maintained with the three Berlin universities – [[Humboldt University of Berlin]|[Humboldt University]], Technical University and Free University – through cooperation contracts and six joint appeals based on these contracts.
Within the Leibniz Association WIAS coordinates a network “Mathematical Modeling and Simulation”.
Infrastructure
The total budget of the institute was 12.9 million euros in 2015, of which the federal and state governments, within the framework of the basic funding, financed 9.5 million euros equally. Approximately 150 people work at WIAS.
