2016–2021 mit einem ERC Consolidator Grant gefördert.
The ERC Consolidator Grant period is misstated. The official CORDIS project record shows Thom’s ERC Consolidator Grant ran from October 1, 2016 to March 31, 2022, not just through 2021.
Full reasoning
The article gives the ERC Consolidator Grant funding period as 2016–2021. However, the European Commission’s official CORDIS project record for grant agreement 681207 (“Groups, Dynamics, and Approximation”) lists:
- Start date: 1 October 2016
- End date: 31 March 2022
So the grant did begin in 2016, but it did not end in 2021. The authoritative project record shows it continued into 2022.

ID dell'accordo di sovvenzione: 681207 … Data di avvio 1 Ottobre 2016 … Data di completamento 31 Marzo 2022
Seit 2016 ist Thom Mitglied des wissenschaftlichen Beirats des Mathematischen Forschungsinstituts Oberwolfach und der Gesellschaft für Mathematische Forschung e. V.
This mixes up two different MFO bodies. Official sources say Thom has been a member of the MFO’s Scientific Committee since 2016, not its Scientific Advisory Board.
Full reasoning
The article says Thom has been a member of the wissenschaftlicher Beirat (Scientific Advisory Board) of the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach since 2016. Official sources contradict that wording.
Thom’s own TU Dresden CV states that since 2016 he has been a member of the Scientific Committee of the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach and of the Gesellschaft für Mathematische Forschung. The MFO’s official pages also distinguish clearly between two separate bodies:
- the Scientific Committee (wissenschaftliche Kommission), whose members include Andreas Thom, Dresden (vice chair);
- the Scientific Advisory Board (wissenschaftlicher Beirat), whose listed 2026 members do not include Andreas Thom.
So the article appears to confuse the MFO’s Scientific Committee with its Scientific Advisory Board. The membership in the Gesellschaft für Mathematische Forschung is consistent with the official sources, but the specific claim about the wissenschaftlicher Beirat is incorrect.
