Society
The ‘Society’ research area aims to present original theoretical approaches to societal issues.
It seeks to foster dialogue with the economic sciences, agronomy, and the humanities and social sciences (geography, history, etc.). Mathematics, when applied in this way, can be linked to societal and socio-economic issues such as mobility and the flow of goods and knowledge, collective behaviour, networks, geography and urban planning.
The power of mathematical methods provides a theoretical framework for addressing a wide range of issues.
For example, in the context of resilient urbanisation and spatial planning, mathematical modelling can provide public authorities with a tool for assessing the suitability of planning projects at an early stage. It is also possible to examine the integration of new forms of mobility and renewable energy, whilst taking into account emerging risks associated with pollution, flooding, etc.
The second 2025 call for projects aims to explore various interactions
