CALL FOR CANDIDATES TO HOLD A 1-2 MONTH CHAIR AT CIRM IN 2024
Opening date: 1 December 2023 – Deadline date: 1 February 2024
Announcement date: 15 February 2024
This Chair will enable CIRM to host a researcher from an African university and a researcher from a French institution (University/CNRS). The chairholder and his/her partner will co-organize research activities around a theme and a project.
The establishment of this new chair at CIRM draws on our experience of the past ten years running the Jean-Morlet Chair, CIRM’s flagship international program, and our many programs with Africa (CIRM-AIMS, CIRM-CIMPA Residences and Fellowships, etc.).

A NEW JEAN-MORLET CHAIR 2023, Semester 2
Jayadev ATHREYA (Chair) and Nicolas BÉDARIDE (Local Project Leader)
RENORMALIZATION AND VISUALIZATION IN GEOMETRY, DYNAMICS AND NUMBER THEORY
Jayadev Athreya, is professor at the University of Washington. He is an active researcher with an extra skill in experimental math (founder and director of Washington experimental Mathematical Lab, founder and director of the Illinois geometry lab). He currently is member of two different departments in his university, the department of mathematics and the department of comparative history of ideas. His research domain includes dynamical systems as random walks, Teichmüller geodesic flows, billiards; number theory as diophantine approximations and he has published about 40 articles in mathematical journals. He was the lead organizer of a semester on Holomorphic Differentials in Mathematics and Physics in fall 2019. Jayadev has obtained several NSF grants and has a very good international visibility.
The local project holder is Nicolas Bédaride, Maître de conférence at Université Aix-Marseille. Nicolas published 22 articles on symbolic dynamics and billiards. He is co-directing one Ph.D. thesis at the moment and is highly experienced in the organization of international conferences, in particular with CIRM.
Bibliothèque mathématique audiovisuelle
Le Cirm accueille les mathématiques mondiales. Plus de 4500 chercheurs et chercheuses s’y rencontrent chaque année pour échanger et diffuser leurs savoirs. Dans le cadre du Laboratoire d’Excellence Carmin, le Cirm a souhaité mémoriser et valoriser ces données de la science.
La Bibliothèque Mathématique Audiovisuelle est une plateforme évoluée construite sur un corpus de conférences données par des mathématiciens du monde entier lors de leur passage au Cirm. Cette plateforme apporte toutes les fonctionnalités d’une recherche documentaire de haut niveau sur une base de films catalogués et enrichis.
10 years of the Jean Morlet Chair
Launched in 2013 at CIRM with Aix-Marseille University, CNRS, the Société Mathématique de France and the City of Marseille, the Jean Morlet Chair celebrated its tenth anniversary in November 2023.

tribute to Maryam Mirzakhani: exhibition at CIRM
CIRM presents an exhibition in tribute to Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman to win the Fields Medal in 2014, who passed away in 2017. This major 36-panel exhibition is divided into 3 sections:
One part of the « Remember Maryam MIRZAKHANI » exhibition is created by the International Mathematical Union ‘s Committee for Women in Mathematics (CWM) – Creator: Thais Jordao and Designer Rafael Meireles Barroso.
Another part is entirely created by CIRM under the scientific direction of Anton Zorich « Mathematical Worlds of Maryam MIRZAKHANI.
A third part created by CIRM under the scientific direction of Jayadev Athreya « Space of Shapes ».
They can be seen outside, on the footbridge, in the library and in the Café des calanques.
CIRM WANTS TO EXPERIMENT WITH NEW TYPES OF EVENTS TO LIMIT OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT!
In an eco-responsible approach, to limit our carbon footprint, we wish to develop two new modes of meetings, especially for researchers coming from outside Europe: the mirror conferences and the Fortnight events.
Mathematics for everyone
Cirm expands its programming and offers several activities throughout the year to a secondary school audience: the Cicadas (mathematical school for high school girls), high school days, the Science Festival, a catalog of accessible videos, etc.
A stay at Cirm, a French scientific research hub, can encourage young people to take up scientific careers. For secondary school students, coming to Cirm is an opportunity that can have a lasting influence on their future. Several schemes exist to date and differ greatly in duration and target audience:
The Cicadas, this school was launched in October 2019 and aims to participate in the dissemination of scientific culture and spirit while fighting against the disaffection of women for this theme.
Dissemination days: a whole day dedicated to high school students of the Aix-Marseille Academy.
Science festivals, exhibitions, etc.
