Faculty of Business Administration and Economics, University of Bielefeld
The faculty focuses its teaching and research in the explanation of economic interrelations and predictions about the effects of economic decisions, and the understanding and shaping of economic processes and structures. Complex and interdependent economic relationships can be described with precision in mathematical methods, therefore the faculty emphasized in quantitative approaches to solve phenomenons. Currently, it counts with 17 professors, approximately 2000 students in bachelor´s, master´s and diploma degree and around 15% of foreign students. Research profile and current focuses of research Current research at the faculty comprises of a number of individual research projects and several research focuses. An analytical-quantitative approach characterises the majority of these projects. Among the established focuses of research is Computational Economics - a field in which the faculty is a top player in the international research landscape thanks to its highly visible profile and its success in raising third-party funding. Robust decision making under uncertainty is another established focus mainly carried by the Centre for Mathematical Economics (IMW). The research on Distribution, inequality and heterogeneity that is oriented to both social theory and economic policy is a Faculty tradition. Both decision-making theory and heterogeneity are at the centre of research in economics in general. Thus Bielefeld's engagement with these issues is certainly not unique. However, the Faculty has been exceptionally successful and innovative in these areas, which is reflected in its publication output and successful bids for third-party funding (including DFG, EU, ZIF) and makes them important research focuses of the Faculty. All three research areas boast an impressive network with national or international research partners. The more recently established subject area Economic implications of smart products and smart systems is co-ordinated by the Institute for Technological Innovation, Market Development and Entrepreneurship (iTIME). The research focus is characterised by a high level of interdisciplinarity and collaboration with a variety of regional partners. Other significant contributors to the research profile and international visibility of the Faculty are the Bielefeld Graduate School of Economics and Management (BiGSEM) and the research-oriented Master's Programme in Quantitative Economics.

Auckland University of Technology (AUT University)
Auckland University of Technology (AUT) (Māori: Te Wānanga Aronui o Tāmaki Makau Rau) is a university in New Zealand, formed on 1 January 2000 when a former technical college (originally established in 1895) was granted university status. It has five faculties across three campuses in Auckland: City, North, and South campuses, and an additional three specialist locations: AUT Millennium, Warkworth Radio Astronomical Observatory and AUT Centre for Refugee Education.[2] AUT enrolled more than 29,000 students in 2018,[3][1]:16 including 4,194 international students from 94 countries[1]:20 and 2,417 postgraduate students.[1]:19 AUT's student population is diverse with a range of ethnic backgrounds including New Zealand European, Asian, Maori and Pasifika.[1]:20 Students also represent a wide age range with 22% being aged 25–39 years and 10% being 40 or older.[1]:20 AUT employed 2,474 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff in 2016, including both professional and academic.[1]:23 Data suggests that 86% of AUT's graduates are employed full-time within nine months of graduating.[4]:35 In the 2019 World University Rankings, AUT was ranked as 301–350.[5] HISTORY AUT was founded as Auckland Technical School in 1895, offering evening classes only. Daytime classes began in 1906 and its name was changed to Auckland Technical College. In 1913 it was renamed Seddon Memorial Technical College. In the early 1960s educational reforms resulted in the separation of secondary and tertiary teaching; two educational establishments were formed; the tertiary (polytechnic) adopting the name Auckland Technical Institute (ATI) in 1963 and the secondary school continuing with the same name. For three years they co-existed on the same site, but by 1964 the secondary school had moved to a new site in Western Springs and eventually became Western Springs College. In 1989 ATI became Auckland Institute of Technology (AIT), and the current name was adopted when university status was granted in 2000.[6] Sir Paul Reeves served as university chancellor from 2005 until his death in 2011.[7] In July, 2019, controversy arose when AUT cancelled an event commemorating the Tiananmen Square massacre, and allegations arose that this was due to interference from the Government of China, due to contact between Chinese officials and the university.[8] AUT denied that China had pressured them,[9] although this claim has been heavily disputed, including by some university staff.[10]

As an independent research institute the IMK is committed to the standards of academic research. To ensure a high quality of its academic output, the IMK closely cooperates with German and foreign universities and its work is regularly evaluated by an independent scientific council. The research findings of the IMK are presented at conferences and workshops both in Germany and abroad. They are published in the institute's own publication series, in books, and in peer-reviewed journals. The institute also focuses on economic policy advice. In public tenders for research projects the IMK competes with other research institutions. However, being part of the Hans Böckler Foundation the institute is largely financed by the Foundation. This basic funding ensures a maximum of academic freedom. Economic policy advice The IMK is involved in economic policy advice on several fronts. The institute prepares studies for federal ministries. In cooperation with other research institutes the consortium produces a comprehensive forecast for Germany, Europe and the rest of the world as well as policy recommendations every year. In connection with its own forecast the institute also comments on economic policies in Germany and Europe and proposes alternative approaches. Experts from the IMK are regularly invited to hearings of the Bundestag -- especially on fiscal issues. Several regional parliaments of Germany have also used the IMK's expertise. Doctoral programme To support young Keynesian-oriented researchers the institute awards one doctoral scholarship per year to a young scientist, who writes her/his doctoral thesis related to one of the IMK's research projects. Funding extends to a maximum of three years. During this period, the doctoral thesis is under the supervision of a university. The young researchers closely cooperate with the IMK team and regularly report on their progress at internal workshops. In addition the doctoral students can contribute to the IMK's publications and participate in conferences in Germany and abroad. Within the scholarship the doctoral students have the opportunity of additional professional training, such as summer schools. The institute encourages applications from economists, who graduated with honours, have excellent econometric skills and are open to Keynesian theories. National and international networks The researchers of the IMK closely cooperate with scholars in Germany and abroad. They are integrated into numerous networks. THE FORUM FOR MACROECONOMICS AND MACROECONOMIC POLICIES, which was founded in 1997 and has been managed by the IMK since 2005, organises an annual international conference each October and has recently started an international summerschool for post-graduate and doctoral students. Selected papers presented at the annual conference are published in collections of papers and academic journals. The network is coordinated by a group of three researchers of the IMK as well as professors and scholars from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In addition the research network cooperates with the Universities of Cambridge, Bilbao and Dijon. Besides international networks direct cooperation with researchers and institutions plays an important part. Bilateral cooperations exist with the Observatoire Français des Conjonctures Économiques (OFCE) in Paris and the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration. In addition to project-based cooperations individual researchers are supported through funds from the IMK. The respective studies are usually published as IMK Working Paper or IMK Studies.
Hausdorff Center for Mathematics, Bonn University
The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics is dedicated to promoting cutting-edge mathematical research in Bonn and Germany. The theme of the Hausdorff Center is mathematics, of which we share a broad and dynamic vision. At its center stands the classical core: the mathematics of famous and fruitful conjectures, the mathematics that is in symbiosis with theoretical physics, and which continually reveals to us deep and unexpected connections. Beyond this core, mathematics drives, and is driven by, the successful trend towards quantitative modeling in the natural and social sciences. The steadily improving performance of computers opens new perspectives for model simulations and the direct transfer of mathematics into technological applications. The Cluster of Excellence is probing and thoroughly studying this entire dynamic range through its Research Areas. Individual Reputations The basis of the HCM is the strength of its faculty, which is reflected in a large number of prizes and honors awarded to senior and junior mathematicians from Bonn, among them Fields Medalists: Gerd Faltings and Peter Scholze Nobel Prize winner in economics: Reinhard Selten Gerd Faltings, Wolfgang Lück, Stefan Müller, and Peter Scholze each received a Leibniz Prize and are four out of 14 non-retired awardees in mathematics
