About the faculty
Göttingen Spirit
Shortly before his death in 1972, Richard Courant was asked about the unique human and scientific spirit that characterized his Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. Courant's answer was, "It is Göttingen. Göttingen is here." He was referring to the scientific approach and research environment in Göttingen in the period before 1933: numerous exceptional scientists were at work in an atmosphere that supported the free exchange of ideas both within and between disciplines, attracting the best scientists all over the world. Today, Göttingen Campus stands for a lively exchange of ideas and for a highly productive collaboration in the areas of research and teaching. The Göttingen Campus is constituted by Göttingen University together with eight internationally renowned non-university research establishments - making it a successful centre of research in the middle of Germany. We know that in order to discover new things and gain new insights we have to confront what is known with unconventional ideas and concepts.That is why we need personalities who "think and act against the current".
