Algebra is one of the conventional branches of mathematics. We represent this area in research and education, providing the theoretical foundations used in many other areas of science.
Our institute covers several areas in the field of algebra, including a focus on computer algebra, to develop algorithms that support the automatic solution of algebraic problems. Another focal point is Universal Algebra, focusing on abstract generalizations of conventional algebraic structures. A third focus includes the theory of nearrings, an area in Linz which has advanced significantly over the past decades.

Yurii Zhuchok receives a Scholarship of the Austrian Academy of Sciences
The Joint Excellence in Science and Humanities (JESH) program of the Austrian Academy of Sciences promotes cooperation between researchers from abroad and scholars in Austria. JESH offers an incoming program for researchers from 61 different target countries and aims to significantly reinforce the research landscape in the respective target country.
We are pleased to announce that Prof. Yurii Zhuchok from Ukraine has been awarded a scholarship sponsored by the Austrian Academy of Sciences. With this scholarship, Yurii will be able to continue his research on semigroups, dimonoids and related systems. In particular, his project is aimed at solving such a fundamental problem as the classification of some derivative structures of free digroups up to isomorphism, as well as to study the representations of digroups and the different properties of free digroups. We are grateful to Prof. Guenter Pilz for his dedicated support in setting up this project and we hope for fruitful cooperation in the future between algebraists from Austria and Ukraine.
