International Cooperation in Teaching and Research

The third level of the CENTRAL network is based on international cooperation in teaching and research in the thematic clusters of mathematics and interdisciplinary humanities.

 

Teaching and Research Cluster Mathematics

The mathematics cluster consists of the three cooperation projects Automorphic Techniques in Arithmetic Geometry, Modelling Dependencies in Ultra-high Dimensions and Analysis and Numerics for Partial Differential Equations. Research and methodologies in the academic fields of Arithmetic Geometry, Business Statistics and Analysis differ considerably in the network countries. The goal is to bring together this expertise in the mathematics cluster and to forge long-term collaboration opportunities.

 

Teaching and Research Cluster Interdisciplinary Humanities

The four cooperation projects Transformations and Transfers, Space and Literary History, Poetics of (A)Sociality, Current Varieties of Central European Languages in the Light of Digital Text Corpora and Areal Convergence in Eastern Central European Languages belong to the interdisciplinary humanities cluster. The focus here lies in the interrelation of the study of culture, history and linguistics in literary studies as well as language diversity and merging of a language area in linguistic studies.

Besides the use of global theories, specific methodological approaches are defined for the region and are mutually developed in this cluster.

 

CLUSTER Meetings

In addition to the academic work in the individual seven cooperation projects, there are cluster meetings. These annual meetings serve for the exchange of interdisciplinary experience which spans the whole project, as well as target coordination within a thematic cluster, and offers space for the initiation of possible new research projects.

Research collaboration within the CENTRAL network is being developed; joint specialist and didactic experience and expertise directly influence teaching and therefore contribute to internationalisation. International lectures, the joint supervision of final projects and dissertations, joint courses as well as the development of the range of courses in foreign languages create sustainable and cooperative structures in this sense.
