Emergence

The cross-cutting ‘Émergence’ initiative aims to support high-potential fundamental research projects in order to enrich the three thematic areas and foster interaction between them.

This is an ongoing, two-way dialogue between mathematics and the other sciences. Indeed, mathematics is essential for tackling problems arising from other sciences; conversely, the fundamental questions raised by these sciences, in turn, feed back into mathematics. They thus enable the development of new theories, which in turn lead to a better understanding of the complex phenomena under study. Advances in fundamental mathematical research are key to future and groundbreaking innovations.
