The board meeting of the FWF last week produced encouraging results. The following projects were approved:

• Stand-alone project "Macdonald polynomials and related structures in geometry" (Anton Mellit)
• Stand-alone project "Transition asymptotics of soliton equations" (Johanna Michor)
• Hertha Firnberg programme "Model order reduction for time-harmonic wave problems" (Francesca Bonizzoni)
• Lise Meitner programme "Depth and discriminability in deep learning architectures" (Rafael Reisenhofer, with Philip Grohs)
• Lise Meitner programme "Algorithms for solving variational inequalities" (Vuong Phan, with Radu Bot)
• Lise Meitner programme "Analysis and geometry on CR manifolds" (Ngoc Son Duong, with Bernhard Lamel)
• Elise Richter PEEK programme "High contrast materials in plasticity and magnetoelasticity" (Elisa Davoli)
