CIRM-IHP SCHOOLS
As part of the LABEX Carmin initiative, each year CIRM reserves two slots in its calendar in order to hold the introduction weeks to programmes that consequently take place at Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris.
Participants get a chance to benefit from the special close environment of CIRM to get to know each other well before moving on to Paris where they are housed in various places in the city. This special collaboration with Institut Henri Poincaré is one of the many initiatives set up to reinforce close cooperation links between the infrastructures devoted to mathematics in France.
Description
- Two to three such events are partly funded each year (among which one week in January and one September).
- Applications are first considered by IHP then evaluated by CIRM’s Scientific Committee.
Funding
- Labex CARMIN may subsidize the event in the shape of « CIRM Days » (free board and lodging at the centre for 5 days for up to 40 people – as long as the event reaches at least 60 participants). Additional external funding should be found to cover additional participants, who can also support themselves. The cost of a week at CIRM is around 540 euros per participant.

- CIRM communicates widely on its programmes. Organizing teams are also encouraged to advertise their event early by making full use of the bilingual website prepared for them, which contains a description, programme, abstracts, link to intranet, list of participants, speakers, committees, scientific pre-registrations, information on visa letters, practical information, a poster (if supplied), link to the videos, etc.
