THE INTERFACE PROGRAMME
To transfer knowledge and know-how acquired in laboratories to the socio-economic world, in order to promote technological innovation in industry.

As the host of leading, international mathematical events for over thirty years, Cirm has decided to capitalize on the wealth of research witnessed onsite to facilitate the flow of transfer of knowledge and ideas to the socio-economic world.
We have welcomed researchers from all over the world for over 30 years and feel that our centre is ideal for total immersion in research and exchanges. It benefits from onsite accommodation and restaurant facilities, conference and seminar rooms of various sizes, all situated in a park at the gates of the local calanques. CIRM is convinced that ongoing training for engineers, managers, professionals and researchers is an essential tool to developing opportunities in innovation. Through the INTERFACE programme CIRM can mobilize its network of high-level mathematicians to offer short programmes for professionals. Its ambition is to serve as a gate to the latest findings in Mathematics, Informatics and Numerical knowledge. An initiative led by players in the mathematics and digital communities in France
This new initiative stems from a study carried out by LabEx Amies on "The socio-economic impact of Mathematics" in France. It is supported by INSMI-CNRS (the French National Institute of Mathematical Sciences and their Interactions), as well as by various French learned societies (SFDS, SIF, SMAI, SMF), and by LabEx Amiès, Archimède and Carmin.
Format
Sessions last 2 to 5 days, in total immersion onsite at Cirm-Luminy (Marseille, France).
Activities include talks, courses, seminars, workshops, exchanges and discussion especially during meals (breakfast, main meals, science and drinks events, etc.) A programme built with companies
The INTERFACE programme is built hand in hand with companies, on the basis of a corpus of contemporary themes identified by a Scientific and Strategic Committee. It adapts to the needs of professionals in research and innovation, based in companies. Multidisciplinary sessions are planned, alternating knowledge transfer sessions and sessions focusing on the definition of problems by players in industry, with the ability to mix very different skills. While mathematics remains at the heart of the programme, it will be possible, in some cases, to incorporate other ethical, economic, legal or other issues.
