HGS MathComp - Where Methods Meet Applications
The Heidelberg Graduate School of Mathematical and Computational Methods for the Sciences (HGS MathComp) at Heidelberg University is one of the leading graduate schools in Germany focusing on the complex topic of Scientific Computing. Located in a vibrant research environment, the school offers a structured interdisciplinary education for PhD students. The program supports students in pursuing innovative PhD projects with a strong application-oriented focus, ranging from mathematics, computer science, bio/life-sciences, physics, and chemical engineering sciences to cultural heritage. A strong focus is put on the mathematical and computational foundations: the theoretical underpinnings and computational abstraction and conception.
HGS MathComp Principal Investigators are leading experts in their fields, working on projects that combine mathematical and computational methodology with topical research issues. Individual mentoring for PhD candidates and career development programs ensure that graduates are fully equipped to take up top positions in industry and academia.

Die Veranstaltung wird in Kooperation zwischen dem Interdisziplinären Zentrum für Wissenschaftliches Rechnen (IWR) der Universität Heidelberg und der Abteilung für Infektionskrankheiten und Tropenmedizin des Universitätsklinikums Heidelberg organisiert. Sie richtet sich an Forschende, Entwickler:innen und Entscheidungsträger:innen, die sich für die Rolle der Modellierung in der diagnostischen Innovation interessieren.
Modelle bieten dabei ein leistungsfähiges Instrument zur Beschreibung biologischer, physikalischer und bevölkerungsmedizinischer Prozesse. Sie helfen, neue diagnostische Verfahren frühzeitig hinsichtlich Wirksamkeit, Anwendbarkeit und Kosten-Nutzen-Verhältnis zu bewerten – oftmals noch bevor aufwändige klinische Studien durchgeführt werden können.
Weitere Informationen finden Sie auf der Veranstaltungswebsite.
