The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved the establishment of a Research Training Group "Mathematics of Interdisciplinary Multiobjective Optimisation (MIMO)" at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau for the period 01.01.2025 - 31.12.2029.

As part of the Research Training Group, scientists from the Optimisation Group of the Department of Mathematics will work together with colleagues from computer science and engineering as well as the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics (ITWM) to research how complex problems can be solved in the best possible way in different application contexts - especially when several conflicting criteria or objectives come into play. On the basis of multi-criteria optimisation, mathematical decision-making aids are to be provided for such applications and thus theoretically described methods are to be transferred into practice.
