CIRM created this semester-long programme in order to extend its cooperation with international researchers, offering them a six-month residential position where they collaborate with a local project leader from Aix-Marseille University. Each semester focuses on a different area but follows a similar general structure, combining the organization of a range of scientific events (two large and up to four smaller events) with a programme of invitations aimed at attracting international researchers to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. Benefits include an attractive salary, publication with Springer-SMF, subsidies for events and special grants for invitations, onsite accommodation, etc. Proposals are placed online on a dedicated website and evaluated by CIRM's international scientific committee. Successful applicants are then asked to orally present and discuss their project during one of the meetings of the committee, which is enlarged for this occasion to the directors of the local mathematical sciences departments and the local Federation of Mathematical Departments (FRUMAM).
Funding: The Chair benefits from specific funding from various sponsors. (More information available on the dedicated website: chairejeanmorlet.com)
