As part of the evaluation, the faculty first carried out a self-evaluation. In November 2022, an on-site visit by international peers took place under the chairmanship of Professor Barbara Wohlmuth (TU Munich).

Overall, the reviewers rate the faculty's achievements in research and teaching very positively. “It is the committee’s impression that each key research area is conducting research at the highest level, addressing key questions in their respective fields and collaborating extensively both within mathematics and outside mathematics. This is evidenced by an impressive list of publications in top international journals, as well as by the overwhelming success at receiving prestigious prizes and acquiring third party funding (including several ERC grants, as well as Austrian awards).”

The peer report gives a detailed assessment of the key evaluation topics. It provides suggestions for further development, including cross-faculty cooperation on study programs, opportunities to improve teacher training, further development of the personnel structure through joint appointments with cooperating faculties ("bridging appointments") and measures to attract additional third-party funding in the field of applied mathematics through stronger connections to industry.

The evaluation results were discussed in detail by the Rectorate with the faculty leadership. A variety of expert recommendations for improvement were incorporated into the implementation agreement. Monitoring of the agreed measures will be carried out as part of the target agreement process.
