LabEx NUMEV Seminar

11th Seminar of 2024.

ATTENTION! This event will take place at the Saint-Priest campus.

The NUMEV-MIPS Seminars are open to a wide audience of students and researchers from all disciplines who wish to learn more about the current research areas of the NUMEV-MIPS community (Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, and Systems) or about opportunities to develop their skills and expertise.

The seminar will present the initiatives planned to engage the MIPS community starting in January 2025, through the long-term thematic projects COLORS and COGIT.

Drawing on the multidisciplinary expertise of the MIPS cluster, the PTL COLORS aims to develop and analyze methods for optimizing resources (digital, material, energy, etc.) and knowledge in response to the challenges of long-term sustainable development.

Two major research areas, representative of the expertise of the cluster’s eight joint research units, could serve as the starting point for initial collaborative efforts:

• optimizing energy resources;
• digital simplicity and software optimization.

The PTL-COGIT initiative, which complements COLORS, aims to develop the methodologies and tools needed to address the societal challenges identified by the University of Montpellier. As with COLORS, the following two examples will serve as a starting point for collaborative efforts:

• a multi-scale exploration of life;
• the study of biodiversity.

Although the MIPS-COLORS and MIPS-COGIT PTLs are scientifically independent, they operate under a shared governance and scientific framework. To accelerate transformative impact, two types of projects will be supported:

• Exploratory Projects, aimed at fostering emerging collaborations, whose funding will ultimately enable proof-of-concept studies or demonstrators;
• Structural Projects, designed for more established projects, enabling them to meet the necessary objectives to apply for ERC, ANR, or European grants.
