De Brún Centre
Minister announces funding for the centre.
The Centre is a new development in algebraic research in Ireland.
Funded under
the Science
Foundation Ireland Mathematics Initiative with additional support from the
EU Marie Curie programme and the Irish Research Council for Science Engineering and Technology, its mission is to:
- support research in
broad areas of algebra and its applications. The initial focus is
in areas of computational group theory, computational
representation theory, computational topology and their
inter-disciplinary applications.
-
offer a strong and unique graduate research programme in
algebra, with a taught component delivered by
international experts, and incorporating local industrial
internships and secondments to other research institutes.
-
host regular workshops
on algebra and inter-disciplinary applications, delivered
by international experts.
The centre takes its name from Monsignor Pádraig de
Brún (1889-1960) - renowned polymath, mathematician and
former President of University College Galway.
