Johann Radon Institute | RICAM
The Johann
Radon
Institute for
Computational and
Applied
Mathematics
(RICAM), an institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences,
was founded in 2003 by Heinz W. Engl. RICAM focuses on
basic research in applied mathematics, and within the Institute mathematicians from all around the globe collaborate
on common core areas in mathematical modeling, simulation, inverse problems and optimization. RICAM has proven to
stand for excellence in research, as can be seen from a high level of publications and the popularity of the Institute's
Special Semesters within the academic community. The working groups at RICAM provide a broad field of expertise over a
whole range of different subjects, and together they create an exciting atmosphere to carry out research in applied
mathematics.
The Johann Radon Institute:
- does basic research in computational and applied mathematics according to highest international standards
- obtains the motivation for its research topics also from challenges in other scientific fields and industry
- emphasizes interdisciplinary cooperation between its workgroups and with institutions with similar scope and universities world-wide
- cooperates with other disciplines in the framework of Special Semesters on topics of major current interest
- wishes to attract gifted postdocs from all over the world and to provide an environment preparing them for international careers in academia or industry
- cooperates with universities by involving PhD-students into its research projects
- promotes, through its work and reports about it, the role of mathematics in science, industry and society
The Institute is named after the famous Austrian mathematician Johann Radon (1887-1956).
