Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MathInParis2020 (International Doctoral Training in Mathematical Sciences in Paris)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2020-12-01 do 2022-11-30
MathInParis2020, as an internationally visible portal to Paris mathematics research, promotes the increase and dissemination of a new generation of international mathematicians trained in Paris, creating a new network of young innovating Doctors integrated in the European Union who will develop novel key areas of expertise and act as scientific ambassadors worldwide. Ambition, mobility and curiosity, awareness of the impact of mathematics in economy, taste for risk taking, innovation and entrepreneurship are some of the many qualities that our laureates will acquire.
MathInParis2020 creates exceptional follow-up and mentoring conditions thanks to dedicated supervisors, by offering high standing research training in mathematics and helping students to seize many academic and inter-sectoral opportunities.
We develop new mechanisms to ease the transition of doctoral students to the widely increasing number of new emerging careers and promote public-private mobility by specific actions, in particular with intense intersectoral exposure.
MathInParis2020 bridges academics and private sector partners, companies, banks, with the major objective of leading its laureates to successful careers. MathInParis2020 builds up innovation and new knowledge for the future in the European Union.
MathInParis2020 fellows produced in the first period seven preprints and two publications all available on the open access server ArXiv.
In the winter issue of EU Research Magazine, the article “Nurturing a new generation of mathematicians in Paris” was published, where ideas for supporting the most promising minds in mathematics trough the MathInParis2020 programme are discussed.
We actually have the ambition that our model of training citizen mathematicians, in relation to society and non-academic, will profoundly change the way non-academics, economic and political decision-makers, and society view mathematicians and that in the medium term our approach will become the norm.
We think today, two years into the programme, that the work done until now is in line with these expected impacts: the level of candidates recruited has been very high, and they responded enthusiastically to our fist propositions of meetings and soft skills activities.
To achieve our ambitions, it will be essential in the second period to help fellows in the set- up of their 3-i secondments, to organize more soft skills training days. We plan also to create a specific web page to share ideas and resources.
