Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, and Systems (MIPS)
Its purpose is to serve as a hub for fostering synergy among research structures and scientific collaboration, with a view to developing joint initiatives among I-SITE members. This cluster consists of 85% of the staff from the MIPS department at the University of Montpellier, and 15% from research units affiliated with research organizations such as Inria, Institut Agro, IRD, INRAE, and CIRAD.
Responsibilities
- Facilitate, Communicate, Highlight Strategy and Scientific Outlook

Calls for proposals
The purpose of these calls for proposals is to initiate collaborations within the MIPS cluster and with its partners between research institutions or teams on innovative topics.
Currently open: This call is the first of the MIPS Cluster’s Long-Term Thematic Projects. Given the availability of additional funding sources, it will cover only the funding of researcher salaries and thematic schools.
Long-Term Thematic Projects
PTL Colors: “Understanding and Optimizing Resources”
- PTL Coordinator: Helene Mathis
- Website
PTL Cogit: “Understanding and Taking Action for Life”
- PTL Coordinator: Emmanuel Le Clezio
- Website
Coordinated collaboratively, the goal of the PTL MIPS is, on the one hand, to organize and engage the community—particularly young scientists—and, on the other hand, to foster the emergence of new research areas andtechnological innovations.
