Zuse Institute Berlin

The Zuse Institute Berlin is a research institute for applied mathematics and computer science dedicated to solving crucial problems in science, technology, environment and society, problems that cannot be solved by traditional methods. Founded in 1984 as a non-university research institute of the State of Berlin, ZIB has worked in close interdisciplinary cooperation with universities and scientific institutions worldwide on developing efficient algorithms for simulating and optimizing mathematical models that describe complex scientific, technical, as well as socio-economic processes and the transfer of these algorithms into efficient software and high-performance computing techniques. ZIB's computing center includes the North-German Supercomputing Alliance (HLRN)-III high performance supercomputer, one of the most powerful computers in the world. The institute has also been one of the founding members of the research center MATHEON Mathematics for Key Technologies, theEinstein Center for Mathematics Berlin, and the ECMath DFG Cluster of Excellence MATH+. Together with Freie Universität Berlin it has established the Research Campus MODAL Mathematical Optimization and Data Analysis Laboratories to boost public-private research partnerships.
