For the topics of ongoing research both within the groups of the institute and in cooperation with other groups.
Special programs:
These are generally one-semester programs which are dedicated to varying topics from an applied science in which mathematical methods as represented in the institute are of interest, or to a methodological topic which is of importance to several problem classes from applied sciences. The aim will be that through intensive co-operation between representatives of the applied science and mathematicians, methods will be developed which will firstly further advance the applied science and secondly lead to interesting mathematical results and problems.
Mission Statement:
The Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM)
* does basic research in computational and applied mathematics according to highest international standards
* obtains the motivation for its research topics also from challenges in other scientific fields and industry
* emphasizes interdisciplinary cooperation between its workgroups and with institutions with similar scope and universities world-wide
* cooperates with other disciplines in the framework of special semesters on topics of major current interest
* wishes to attract gifted postdocs from all over the world and to provide an environment preparing them for international careers in academia or industry
* cooperates with universities by involving PhD-students into its research projects
* promotes, through its work and reports about it, the role of mathematics in science, industry and society
