Friends of Oberwolfach

About

The "Verein zur Förderung des Mathematischen Forschungsinstituts Oberwolfach" (Förderverein, Friends of Oberwolfach) has been founded in February 1992 as a non-profit association. The founding chairman of the society was Reinhold Remmert who served it in this position for the next 15 years. The purpose of the association is the promotion of science and research in the field of mathematics through the acquisition and provision of funds for the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO).

Traditionally the Förderverein supports three main areas:

  • support for the maintenance of the buildings,
  • support for the library to keep it at its current level as one of the best mathematics libraries in the world,
  • and travel support for participants of meetings in exceptional cases.

This way mathematicians will directly profit from the money collected by the society.

In 1998 the Oberwolfach Foundation was inaugurated to provide for steady reliable cash flows supporting the outstanding scientific work at the MFO.
