Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, and Systems (MIPS) Division
Its purpose is to serve as a forum 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 organizations such as Inria, Institut Agro, IRD, INRAE, and CIRAD.
Missions
- Facilitate, Communicate, and Highlight Scientific Strategy and Future Outlook
- Uniting and Promoting Partnerships
- Increase visibility and contribute to the region’s excellence in the field of biology and health at the national and international levels

Calls for Proposals
The purpose of the Calls for Projects is to initiate, within the MIPS Cluster and in collaboration with its partners, collaborations 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 researchers’ 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 Manager: Emmanuel Le Clezio
- Website
Coordinated collaboratively, the goal of the PTL MIPS is, on the one hand, to structure and engage the community—particularly young scientists—and, on the other hand, to foster the emergence of new research topics andtechnological innovations.
