Meeting with the Vice-Rector of the University of Montreal

On Wednesday, November 6, 2024, the director of CRM-CNRS met with the Vice-Rector for Research, Discovery, Creation, and Innovation of the University of Montreal, Marie-Josée Hébert.

The meeting was an opportunity to thank the University of Montreal for hosting CRM-CNRS in its facilities and to express the importance of the investment from CNRS and the Fonds de recherche du Québec for Franco-Quebec cooperation in mathematics.

The main tools of this cooperation were presented:

• the hosting at CRM-CNRS of scientists working in France “assigned on delegation” thanks to joint funding from CNRS and the employer of the assigned person;
• the support program for the international laboratory of the Fonds de recherche du Québec in four pillars:
  • hosting of mathematicians coming from France,
  • long-term research stays in France for CRM members,
  • participation in scientific events in France by CRM members,
  • research internships for students.

The website presenting all cooperation opportunities in mathematics between France and Canada was introduced.
