By Christoph Pelzl Using the visual cortex as a model in the human brain, the research group led by ERC-award-winner Thomas Pock has developed new mathematical models and algorithms as the basis for faster and more intelligent image processing programs.

By Beate Mosing Students think: "Mathematics has got nothing to do with my life." Wrong! Professor Peter Grabner on the role of mathematics in everyday life - in bank transfers, weather trends and so on.

By Birgit Baustädter Michael Kerber from the Institute of Geometry at TU Graz uses topological methods - a branch of mathematics and geometry - to extract the secrets of complex data sets.

By Christoph Pelzl Statistics can use data to identify patterns and derive concrete recommendations for action.

Stochastic models are now indispensable for answering practical questions on finance and insurance. Their use needs to be based on a careful model validation process and an awareness of model limitations.

By Christoph Aistleitner TU Graz's Institute of Analysis and Number Theory was awarded the FWF START Prize in 2016.

During this congress, 450 international participants will meet from 11 to 15 September at the University of Salzburg Faculty of Natural Sciences to discuss research and teaching, to hold workshops and to participate in lectures by well-known colleagues.

At TU Wien, an alternative for resource intensive formwork for the construction of concrete domes was developed.

Overlooking the sea, the Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale (OGS) held a workshop on marine microzooplankton from 23 to 27 May, 2016.
