Since its foundation in April 2000, the Center for Mathematical Modeling is part of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the largest research organization in Europe. With this partnership, the CMM receives each year researchers from the French center who stays between 12 and 24 months, during that period along with developing basic research, they participate in the PhD program of DIM-CMM and guide thesis co-tutelle.
After nearly eleven years as a Joint Unit of CNRS, the CMM is presenting its proposal for recreation. It is for this reason that between August 28 and September 1 CMM received a delegation from the French center, formed by four researchers, who knew about the business of the Centre and the benefits generated by the close collaboration between French and Chilean mathematicians
“For us it is very important to maintain and deepen the relationship with CNRS, because of the world-class role that French Mathematics has as well as the prestige of CNRS and the visibility a Joint Unit gives to the CMM internationally,” explains Servet Martínez, CMM researcher.
The delegation consisted in Virginie Center Bonnaillie, professor at the Institut de Recherche Mathématiques de Rennes; Jean Marc Chassery, Research Director at CNRS and deputy director of the Institute INSIS, Jean Mairesse, Research Director at CNRS at the University LIAFA Paris 7, and Jean Claude Saut, professor at the University Paris-Sud, Centre d'Orsay.
The French researchers also met with mathematics at the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María who form the External Associate of CMM, visited the Universidad Católica de Chile and were greeted by the Dean of our Faculty, Francisco Brieva.
| The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), is a research organization under the administrative authority of the Ministry of Research, France. During its more than seventy years of life has become the largest research center in Europe and has ten institutes.
Since its inception, the CNRS has promoted collaboration between specialists from different disciplines, in particular with universities allowing them to open up new fields of research to meet social and economic needs. Currently, the center has 22 international units worldwide, CMM is one of the three that CNRS has in South America. |
