Fostering dialogue between mathematics and other disciplines in order to drive innovation for living organisms, the environment and society.
Tackling contemporary challenges requires a multidisciplinary and innovative scientific strategy in which mathematics has a vital role to play.
We are faced with phenomena that are increasingly difficult to understand, anticipate and control, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, the management of epidemics and public health challenges. The need for modelling, simulation and data processing is growing ever greater.
The Mathematics in interactions research programme (PEPR Maths-Vives) aims to foster and organise interactions between mathematics and other sciences in relation to current issues.
The programme is organised into three research themes: life sciences, the environment and society, addressed through ten targeted multidisciplinary projects during the initial phase. With a budget of €50 million over 10 years, the programme forms part of the France 2030 investment plan. The State has entrusted the CNRS with the scientific leadership of the programme, which is managed by the ANR.
