From 7–9 April 2025, Durham University’s Department of Mathematical Sciences welcomed about 100 educators, researchers, and technologists from around the world for the International Meeting of the STACK Community 2025.

Durham University recently hosted the Durham Symposium on Mean Field Games, a major international event that brought together about 55 leading researchers and rising scholars to explore the latest advances in the theory and applications of Mean Field Games (MFGs). The symposium took place from 25 March to 28 March 2025 and was supported by The Royal Society.

The prestigious grant will support a cutting-edge research project exploring the mathematical structures underpinning quantum symmetries.

We have been ranked third in the UK for interdisciplinary science research.

Mathematical and Theoretical Physics Fellow Robie Hennigar and his research partners outline their latest work on black holes.

We were pleased to welcome Dr. Nazar Miheisi from King's College London for our 2024 Black History Month Lecture.

Our mathematicians have helped harness the power of AI (artificial intelligence) to upgrade a tool that forecasts emergency hospital admissions across Scotland.

Our recent Willmore Pure Postgraduate Day celebrated the exciting research in pure mathematics carried out by junior researchers in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

In a new development for our highly rated Mathematical Sciences department, Dr Yohance Osborne is set to join us as one of the first recipients of the prestigious Royal Society Career Development Fellowship.

Victoria Schleis, a postdoctoral research associate in our top-rated Mathematical Sciences department, has been awarded a prestigious fellowship by the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) for the 2024-25 academic year.

Dr Sabine Boegli from our Mathematical Sciences department has won a prestigious Whitehead Prize.

In a new study, our pioneering scientists think they have solved a mystery about exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) that are getting closer and closer to the stars they orbit around.
