Addressing these complex problems demands innovative approaches that integrate insights from multiple areas of mathematics and computer science. \u201cThis funding allows us to leverage the interdisciplinary synergies between different fields, bringing together expertise that might not otherwise have come together,\u201d says Florian Luca. The DynAMiCs project unites expertise in algorithmic verification led by Prof. Jo\u00ebl Ouaknine, symbolic dynamics under Prof. Val\u00e9rie Berth\u00e9, and analytic number theory led by Prof. Florian Luca.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The project is funded via a European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant totaling 7.5 million euros over six years, with 5 million euros allocated to MPI-SWS.
