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
  • Bring People Together and Foster Partnerships
  • Increase visibility and contribute to the region’s excellence in the field of biological sciences and health at the national and international levels
  • Strengthening the link between education and Research
  • Facilitate a collective discussion on coordinated planning for jobs, skills, and human resources in collaboration with institutions and organizations
Scientific scope

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

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.

Guillaume Cassabois: Matter in Light

Thanks to groundbreaking research on semiconductor nanostructures—and in particular on the physical properties of boron nitride—physicist Guillaume Cassabois of the Charles Coulomb Laboratory at UM has just been awarded the 2025 Jean Ricard Grand Prize by the French Physical Society. While the award recognizes individual achievement, the researcher emphasizes the importance of the team throughout his research.
