The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation) has granted the funding
of a Collaborative Research Centre / Transregio (CRC/TRR 191) on “Symplectic Structures
in Geometry, Algebra and Dynamics”. This CRC is based at the universities of Bochum,
Cologne and Heidelberg, and it includes mathematicians from the university of Aachen.
These pages provide contact details, application instructions and general information about its projects and activities.
