Bigmath Project

bigmath is an innovative training network programme for highly motivated young and creative mathematicians, where state-of-the-art research is combined with a comprehensive training programme. the network is funded by the european union through the horizon 2020 msca-itn-eid action. the european commission wants to make research careers more attractive to young people and therefore offers early-stage researchers (esrs) the opportunity to improve their research skills, join established research teams, and enhance their career prospects via the so-called marie curie initial training networks. the scientific goal of bigmath is to address the major challenges that the big data era is posing to mathematical research, in particular in the areas of optimization, statistics, and large-scale linear algebra. the esrs will be trained both on cutting-edge research on targeted mathematical disciplines, and on a wide set of “soft skills” that will enable them to transfer effectively their knowledge t
