Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques
The Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (CIRM) is a mathematics research institute associated with the
History
In 1954, a report from the CNRS discussed potential sites for a meeting place to hold international seminars and workshops in mathematics similar to the
Scientific programs
CIRM supports a variety of residential programs and workshops. Each year, CIRM runs around 35 week-long workshops with an average of 75 weekly participants.
Jean-Morlet Chair
CIRM hosts the Jean-Morlet Chair, which is a six-month residential program for international researchers to collaborate with a local project leader from Aix-Marseille University to plan events and projects. The chair was named after Jean Morlet, a French geophysicist who worked with Marseille-based researcher Alex Grossmann, among others, to develop the wavelet transform.[6] Past chairs have included Nicola Kistler, Boris Hasselblatt, Igor Shparlinski, Hans Georg Feichtinger, Herwig Hauser, François Lalonde, Dipendra Prasad, Mariusz Lemańczyk, Konstantin Khanin, Shigeki Akiyama, and Genevieve Walsh.[7]
