Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Systems Division (MIPS)

Its purpose is to provide a forum for synergies between research and scientific consultation structures with a view to developing joint actions between I-SITE members. This cluster is made up of 85% of the MIPS department of the University of Montpellier, and 15% of research units linked to research organizations such as Inria, Institut Agro, IRD, Inrae, and Cirad.

Missions
  • Lead, communicate, highlight strategy and scientific foresight
  • Bringing together and promoting partnerships
  • Increase visibility and contribute to the region's excellence in biology and health at the national and international levels.
  • Promoting the link between training and Research
  • Lead a collective discussion on coordinated planning of jobs, skills, and human resources in conjunction with institutions and organizations.
Scientific scope

The cluster brings together research laboratories and technology and service platforms for the MUSE initiative's research in the fields of mathematics, computer science, physics, and engineering and systems sciences (mechanical, electronic, micro- or nanoelectronics, etc.).

Calls for projects

The purpose of calls for projects is to initiate collaborations between research structures or teams on innovative topics within the MIPS cluster and with its partners.

In progress: this call is the first of the MIPS cluster's Long-Term Thematic Projects. Given the additional funding opportunities, it will only cover the salaries of researchers and thematic schools.

Long-Term Thematic Projects

PTL Colors: “Understanding and optimizing resources”

PTL Cogit: “Understanding and acting for life”

  • PTL Manager: Emmanuel Le Clezio
  • Website

Coordinated collectively, the goal of the MIPS PTLs is to structure and energize the community, particularly among young scientists, and also to enable the emergence of new themes andtechnological innovations.

Guillaume Cassabois: Matter in Light

Thanks to original findings on semiconductor nanostructures, particularly the physical properties of boron nitride, physicist Guillaume Cassabois from the Charles Coulomb Laboratory at the University of Montpellier has just been awarded the 2025 Jean Ricard Grand Prize by the French Physics Society. While the award recognizes individual achievement, the researcher emphasizes the importance of teamwork throughout his research.
