Third Mission of the Faculty of Mathematics

ein Mann betrachtet einen riesigen Globus

To address the growing societal and economic challenges, there is an increasing demand for universities to use their knowledge from research and teaching to fulfill their so-called "Third Mission" in society and economy. This implies taking responsibility, actively and consciously, for the society on whose behalf they are working.

 Social & Societal Transfer

"Social and Societal Transfer" refers to the targeted use of scientific knowledge to solve various societal challenges.
