Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics and Systems (MIPS) cluster

Its aim is to provide a forum for synergy between research structures and scientific consultation, with a view to developing joint initiatives between I-SITE members. The cluster comprises 85% of the strengths of the University of Montpellier's MIPS department, and 15% of research units linked to research organizations such as Inria, Institut Agro, IRD, Inrae and CIRAD.

Missions
  • Leading, communicating, highlighting scientific strategy and prospects
  • Federating and fostering partnerships
  • Increase the Region's visibility and contribute to its excellence in the field of Biology-Health, both nationally and internationally.
  • Promoting the link between Training and Research
  • Lead a collective reflection on concerted programming of jobs, skills and human resources in conjunction with establishments and organizations
Scientific scope

The cluster brings together MUSE research laboratories, technology platforms and research services in the fields of mathematics, computer science, physics, engineering sciences and systems (mechanical engineering, electronics, micro and nanoelectronics, etc.).

Call for projects

Calls for Projects aim to initiate collaboration between research structures or teams on innovative subjects, within the MIPS cluster and with its partners.

Ongoing: this call for projects is the first of the MIPS cluster's Long-Term Thematic Projects. In view of the related funding possibilities, it will only concern the funding of researchers' salaries and thematic schools.

Guillaume Cassabois: Illuminating matter

Thanks to original results on semiconductor nanostructures and in particular on the physical properties of boron nitride, physicist Guillaume Cassabois of the Charles Coulomb Laboratory laboratory has just been awarded the Grand Prix Jean Ricard 2025 by the French Physics Society. While the award recognizes an individual achievement, Cassabois emphasizes the importance of teamwork throughout his research.
