Want to organize an event at Cirm during the first semester 2020?
Calls are now open! Les appels d’offres sont ouverts !
CALL 1 > EVENTS & PROGRAMMES
1. CONFERENCES & RESEARCH SCHOOLS
CIRM supports a variety of events lasting 5 days and gathering up to 90 people.
These range from conferences to research schools welcoming a high number of young
scientists. The aim is to give researchers in mathematical sciences the opportunity
to present and discuss recent research results, initiate future collaborative
projects and cross-fertilize ideas. Each year, CIRM runs around 35 events of this
type for an average attendance of 75 weekly participants. Proposals are reviewed by
CIRM's international scientific committee.
Funding: selected applications are granted up to 40 CIRM-subsidized places (free
board and lodging at the centre). Additional external funding must be found to cover
other participants. The cost of a week at CIRM is around €500 per participant.

Call opens on 5th February 2018
Deadline: 31 March 2018
2. MULTI-YEAR PROGRAMMES
Many scientific projects need time to grow and achieve results. The aim of this
new type of programmes over several years is to have the opportunity to stage key
moments to review and take stock one week per year at CIRM.
Proposals should fit into one of these two areas: Mathematics (any research gathering mainly mathematicians) Mathematics in interaction (cross-disciplinary events associating mathematicians with other experts from other sciences such as physicists, physicians, biologists, economists, etc.)
The average timespan of a project should be around three years, with one (or possibly more) week-long event at CIRM every year.
Funding: the above programmes must be fully funded through external grants, for the
whole duration of the projects. The cost of a week at CIRM is around €500 per
participant.
INFORMATION & ONLINE PROPOSAL https://www.cirm-math.com/multi-year-propose.html
Proposals can be sent throughout the year
3. JEAN-MORLET CHAIR
CIRM created this semester-long programme in order to extend its cooperation with
international researchers, offering them a six-month residential position, during
which they collaborate with a local project leader from Aix-Marseille University.
Each semester focuses on a different area but follows a similar general structure,
combining the organization of a range of scientific events (two large and up to 4
smaller events) with a programme of invitations aimed at attracting international
researchers to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. Benefits include an attractive
salary, publication with Springer-SMF, subsidies for events and special grants for
invitations, onsite accommodation etc. Proposals are placed online on a dedicated
website and evaluated by CIRM's international scientific committee.
Funding: The Chair benefits from specific funding from various sponsors. Holders are
also asked to look for additional external funding to cover some of the costs.

4. WORKSHOPS
CIRM also welcomes smaller workshops that run alongside the larger event of each
week or in parallel to other groups. Note that, with new infrastructure due to open
late 2018, workshops will be able to gather up to 40 participants. These 4 or 5-day
events enable participants to focus on a specific area or on a particular problem.
The format is particularly well-adapted to projects funded by the Groupements de
recherche (GDR), or by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), and they can
also be the perfect way to organize a celebratory event (e.g. Lagrange Days in
2013).
One of the advantages of these smaller workshops is that - contrary to larger events
that need to be scheduled two years before they take place - proposals can be
received at any time. The international scientific committee at CIRM studies
proposals, as and when they come, and decides on average within 4 to 6 weeks after
receiving them. Specific dates are then arranged directly with the Events
Coordinator.
Funding: Workshops must be fully funded through external grants. The cost of a week at CIRM is around €500 per participant.

Proposals can be sent throughout the year
5. RESEARCH IN PAIRS
Research in Pairs (2 to 4 people) enable researchers to work together on very
specific projects such as putting the final touches to a paper or a book, studying a
new problem, setting up a collaboration etc. These events last on average 1 to 2
weeks (exceptionally 3 weeks), subject to the need of the project and to vacancies
at CIRM during the identified calendar weeks.
One of the advantages of Research in Pairs is that - contrary to larger events that
need to be scheduled two years before they take place - applications can be received
at any time. The international scientific committee at CIRM studies proposals, as
and when they come in, and makes a decision on average 4 to 6 weeks after receiving
them. Specific dates are then arranged directly with the Events Coordinator.
Funding: board and lodging at CIRM is offered for up to 3 participants from outside
the region, usually for 1 or 2 weeks.

Proposals can be sent throughout the year
CALL 2 > JOINT PROGRAMMES
These programmes benefit from a pre-selection made by various organizing bodies
(IHP, SMAI, SMF etc.). The second step of the application is to present a
well-defined proposal to CIRM for final evaluation and selection by the scientific
committee at CIRM.
6. CEMRACS (CIRM & SMAI)
Each year, for six weeks, CIRM is the home of a summer school programme which is proposed, organized and funded by the SMAI (Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society). The application is prepared with the SMAI then an online application must be filled in on our website. The proposal is then evaluated by CIRM's international scientific committee during one of their meetings. An additional oral presentation and discussion with the scientific committee takes place 18 months before the start of the summer school.
Funding: CEMRACS events must be fully funded through external grants. The cost of a
week at CIRM is around €500 per participant.
INFORMATION & ONLINE PROPOSAL <>
Call will open in the summer 2018
7. SMF WEEKS (CIRM & SMF)
The French Mathematical Society proposes to fund two distinct weeks per year. The
format is determined each year by the SMF in a call for proposals that is published
on the SMF website
See http://smf.emath.fr/>
Funding: the above programme will be funded by the SMF.
INFORMATION & ONLINE PROPOSAL https://www.cirm-math.com/smf-weeks.html
Call opens on 5th February 2018
Deadline: 31 March 2018
8. THEMATIC MONTH (CIRM & AIX-MARSEILLE UNIVERSITE)
Every February, CIRM and Aix-Marseille University (AMU) stage a 4 or 5-week "Thematic Month" devoted to one particular area (Statistics, Probability, Cryptography, Dynamical Systems etc.). This thematic session features conferences and research schools. This special month is sometimes coupled with the general topic of the Jean-Morlet Chair taking place that particular semester, thus allowing exchanges, co-funding opportunities and a larger international presence.
Funding: up to 40 CIRM-subsidized places (free board and lodging at the centre) are
granted per week. Additional external funding must be found to cover other
participants. The cost of a week at CIRM is around €500 per participant.

9. IHP SCHOOLS (CIRM & INSTITUT HENRI POINCARE)
Each year, CIRM reserves two weeks for the introduction weeks to some trimesters
taking place at Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris. Detailed proposals for these
specific weeks must be filled in online in order for CIRM's international scientific
committee to get all the necessary information before deciding to select and sponsor
them.
Funding : up to 40 CIRM-subsidized places (free board and lodging at the centre) are
granted per week. Additional external funding must be found to cover other
participants. The cost of a week at CIRM is around €500 per participant.

10. RNBM-MATHRICE-AUDIMATH WEEKS
These weeks are aimed at groups of professionals working with mathematicians on a
day-to-day basis, which are part of a GDS. They include the Réseau National des
Bibliothèques de MathématiquesRNBM (Maths Libraries), Réseau d'informaticiens
MATHRICE (IT), and the new Réseau national AUDIMATH (outreach and dissemination).
Proposals will be studied and selected by CIRM's international Scientific committee.
NB: CIRM is of course open to other groups wishing to host institutional weeks, whether they are based in France or abroad. If you are in this situation, please contact the Events Coordinator at CIRM.
