The Weierstrass Institute, formally the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS), is a part of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V.[1] and a member of the Leibniz Association.[2] Based in Berlin’s district Mitte, the institute's research activities involve applied mathematics and basic mathematics.

Since February 2011, the International Mathematical Union (IMU) Secretariat is located in Berlin at WIAS.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).[3][4]

Close relationships are maintained with the three Berlin universities, Humboldt University, Technical University and Free University, through cooperation contracts and six joint appeals based on these contracts. Together with the mathematical institutes of these universities and the Zuse Institute Berlin WIAS operates the Berlin mathematical center of excellence, MATHEON.[5]

Within the Leibniz Association WIAS coordinates a network “Mathematical Modeling and Simulation”.[6]

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.[7]
