AIMS

CIRM's local, national and international missions:

• to share the latest discoveries in mathematical sciences
• to progress on core questions in this discipline
• to prepare ambitious projects in collaboration with other sciences
• to ensure transfer of knowledge towards young researchers and doctoral students.

CIRM's core activitity: organizing events

• Conferences & Research Schools

Lasting 5 days with on average 60 to 90 participants. The calendar is planned two years in advance. 

• Groups

Lasting 2 to 5 days, more specialized than larger events and attended by 18-25 participants on average (NB: from late 2018 up to 30 participants will be possible). This format is particularly adapted to Groupements de Recherche or to ANR (French National Research Agency) activities, as well as to focused groups in the Jean-Morlet Chair semesters.

• Research in Pairs

Two to four people meet for a week or fortnight (3 weeks on special request) to finish a paper, a book chapter or to set up a new collaboration. 

• Thematic Sessions

Focusing on particular areas for several weeks or months. They include the CEMRACS, the yearly February Thematic Month and the Jean-Morlet Chair semesters.  

Governance 

CIRM has a Director, who is the only academic employed permanently onsite.

CIRM is governed by an Administrative Council.

In order to implement its scientific missions, CIRM has appointed an International Scientific Committee.
