Company Overview

The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) is one of the world’s preeminent centers for collaborative research. A Board of Trustees, composed of accomplished business and academic leaders, currently including both a Nobel Prize winner and a Breakthrough Prize winner, oversees the Institute’s strategy, and assures its operational and financial welfare. A committee of ten renowned mathematical scientists governs the Institute’s scientific program providing a vision of the field that is perpetually renewed.

MSRI has been advancing knowledge through advanced mathematical research since 1982, and has enjoyed the continuous core support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) throughout that time. The Institute hosts some 1700 mathematicians each year, for stays of up to one academic year. The intense research-level activity serves researchers from the postdoctoral stage through the most renowned and senior professors. In addition, the Institute has programs for graduate students, programs in mathematics education, and an array of programs to help the general public experience the pleasures, as well as the importance, of mathematics.

MSRI has become a model for institutes around the world, and its reputation is such that mathematicians from far and wide make it a professional priority to participate in the Institute’s programs.
