MULTI-YEAR PROGRAMMES
Aim: To give research the time it needs
Many scientific projects need time to achieve results. The aim of this programme is to offer organizers an opportunity to share advances on a common project by taking stock once or twice a year, during a key week at CIRM, and to have the possibility to do this several years in a row.
Two types of programmes are available.
Multi-year programme 1: « Mathematics »
The main objective of this programme is to undertake research in all ambitious areas of mathematics and IT, whether they fall into pure research or applied research. The team of investigators will gather mathematicians and/or computer scientists. 
Multi-year programme 2: « Mathematics in Interaction »
The main objective of this programme, aimed at cross-disciplinary projects, is to develop mathematical tools in cooperation with other sciences (physics, medicine, biology, economics etc.) in order to meet current and future societal challenges. The proposal must have an equal number of maths specialists and experts in other disciplines. 
Funding
These projects will need to be supported by external funds that can include ERC Grants, ANR grants, NSF funding etc.) Rationale and format
To make full use of the CIRM environment and administrative / logistical support. By planning events over several years, organizers can be sure that every effort will be made to ease their planning, that CIRM's communication channels will be used to advertise the programme, that hotel and restaurant facilities will be professionally organized for them. CIRM's 2019 new extension, in particular, will be used for this programme. It will provide additional bedrooms, a large conference room equipped with an AV centre to film the event and equipped with a Clevertouch touchscreen, a 40-seat video-conference equipped seminar room, offices for organizers, extended restaurant room. The format of events may be quite flexible: conference, research schools, large thematic workshops, etc. At least one large annual or bi-annual event may be complemented by smaller workshops of 10-40 people in the same year or alternate year. The general agreement can also carry some flexibility re. its duration. We recommend that you take a look at Conferences and Research Schools to find out more information about what is envisaged.
