Mittag-Leffler Institute

The Mittag-Leffler Institute is a mathematics research center housed in an ornate art nouveau villa with surrounding park grounds in Djursholm near Stockholm. The building and its outdoor spaces serve as a setting where mathematicians from different countries conduct collaborative research.

The foundation was established in 1916 by mathematician Gösta Mittag-Leffler and his wife Signe to advance mathematical research. Under Lennart Carleson's leadership beginning in 1969, it became a globally recognized center for specialized research programs.

The institute publishes two influential mathematical journals that are read by scholars worldwide. These publications have shaped academic discourse in mathematics for more than a century.

Visitors can freely explore the grounds and observe the architectural details of the villa. The surrounding park areas provide a quiet environment for walking and enjoying the outdoor setting.

The institute maintains a collection of rare mathematical texts, including an original copy of Copernicus's work on the movement of celestial bodies. These historical documents show how long mathematical science has engaged with fundamental questions about nature.
