Discover CIRM

The Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (Centre for International Research meetings in Mathematics) was created in 1981 by the French mathematics community and has become an increasingly popular destination. It provides all the facilities and equipment that conference organizers and participants need, allowing for collaborative work in mathematical sciences and other related disciplines. CIRM is an international centre jointly supervised by SMF (the French Mathematical Society) and CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research) through INSMI (the National Institute for Mathematical Sciences). CIRM is also supported by the French Ministry of Education and Research as well as other sponsors such as the City of Marseille, the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and other benefactors. CIRM is the largest mathematics conference centre in the world in terms of visitors per year (about 3500). It caters for close to 100 residents each week. Its all-in one residential offer allows researchers to concentrate fully on research and scientific discussion. Situated in the heart of a domain rich of a thousand years of history, at the door of the calanques and surrounded by trees older than a hundred years old, the CIRM conference centre for mathematical sciences is a unique place in the South of France. CIRM’s yearly calendar features large conferences totalling up to 90 participants for one week but also smaller conferences of 60 running alongside small groups of 20 as well as research in pairs. CIRM hosts researchers from more than 50 countries over a period of 50 weeks per year.
