Mathematical sciences play a key role in today's economy, but also in shaping the solutions to the many societal and scientific questions we will face in the world of tomorrow. France has a long tradition of excellence in mathematical research and education, covering a wide variety of topics from the most theoretical ones, including fundamental computer science, to the very applied ones linked to biology, physics, chemistry, medicine, finance, image processing, data sciences, artificial intelligence, geophysics, urban development, social sciences, etc. A significant proportion of French mathematicians are located in the Greater Paris Region, which also attracts most international students, despite the excellence of mathematical institutes, and the richness of the scientific spectrum everywhere in the country.
The programme MathPhDInFrance, carried by FSMP (Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris covering most math laboratories in downtown Paris) and associating partners from Greater Paris and everywhere in France, will propose an innovative concept of doctoral training, where each student is co-supervised between the Greater Paris region and another region in France. The programme MathPhDInFrance aims at structuring the research and training of doctoral students in Mathematics in the entire France territory by proposing an innovative scheme where each student is offered two host laboratories where to conduct research, while following extensive and appropriate training.
The program will structure the research and training and strengthen the international visibility of French Mathematical research while proposing an enriched collaborative experience to the students stimulated by the double environment of co-supervision. Overall, the project will thus contribute to building and shaping the French Mathematical community and ensure its integration into Europe and the rest of the world.
