June 22, 2026 - Lecture Fair Wages - Plurale Ökonomik - on Wednesday, July 8
We are happy to invite you to the next lecture by Prof. Vladimir Shikhman on the mathematical bargaining of wages and the role of trade unions.
In order to secure higher wages, employees often organize trade unions on the dues basis. Collective wages are then laboriously negotiated between employer and trade union representatives. This talk explores from a mathematical perspective how such negotiations take place and to which results they may lead, at least theoretically. Basic concepts of cooperative game theory are applied to the situation of a collective bargaining dispute in which a trade union is facing a capitalist. What is understood as an outcome payment is based on the notion of Nash solution. This is the second talk in the series, after we studied “fair”wages previously. Nevertheless, it will be possible to understand the details without having attended the first talk.
- When? July 8, 5:15 p.m.
- Where? Room C10.006 (Orangerie) at TU Chemnitz
- Who? Prof. Dr. Vladimir Shikhman, Professor of Economathematics at Chemnitz University of Technology
Info: This presentation will take place in English.

May 28, 2026 - Movie Night: Capital in the Twenty-First Century
How do inequality, power, and wealth arise - and how do they continue to shape our society today?
In collaboration with the “mittendrin” film club of TU Chemnitz, we’re screening the documentary Capital in the Twenty-First Century, based on Thomas Piketty’s bestseller. The film takes us on a journey through the history of capital and poses questions that could hardly be more relevant today. How does capital move, how does it influence society and who benefits from it?
After the screening, we warmly invite you to a short discussion and Q&A session. Come by, watch the film, and join the discussion with us!
*June 3 * 7:00 PM * “mittendrin” film club, Reichenhainer Str. 35/37, 09126 Chemnitz*
