The Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM), as
one of the promoting institutions of the Barcelona Graduate School of
Mathematics, was awarded with a Maria
de Maeztu Unit of Excellence (MDM-2014-0445) by the Spanish Government
in 2015.
The María de MaeztuUnit of Excellence Award
is one of the highest recognitions for scientific institutions in Spain,
acknowledging the world-class quality of the research performed by the members
of the Unit.The awardbacks up (with 2MEuros over 4 years, in
the case of the Units) the Unit´s Strategic Research Programme (SRP), in order to
leverage their scientific capabilities and contribute towards their
international leadership.
RESEARCH PROGRAMME
The strategic research
programme of the Unit can be pictured as a matrix. The SRP is organized into
seven large areas of research in the mathematical sciences, with each area focused
on two / three vertical objectives, which represent a total of fifteen fundamental
research challenges.
Three transversal objectives (attracting
and training young researchers, knowledge transfer to industry and society, and
cross-fertilization) complete the SRP matrix, providing input into the lines
and guiding the dissemination of the output.
The Unit of Excellence Award has enabled the CRM to attract
international talent to contribute to the diverse areas: 22 PhDs (supervised by
some of the Senior Researchers in the diverse strategic lines) and 15
postdoctoral fellows have been hired since 2015 thanks to the MdM Award plus
related opportunities such as INPHINIT Incoming PhD programme (La Caixa) and
Santander Postdoctoral Fellowships.
