Governance

Here you will find information regarding the governance of IHP and its organisation.

Governance

The Institut Henri Poincaré has two sorts of legal status and two supervisory institutions, namely the CNRS and Sorbonne Université. Its director, a mathematician, was appointed by the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, and by the CEO of the CNRS on the recommendation of the IHP Board. Its deputy director, a physicist, was appointed by the director after advice from the Board.

The management team is composed of a director, a deputy director and a secretary general, assisted by an executive assistant.

Appointed on 17 April 2025. Find here the article published by Sorbonne Université and here the one published by the CNRS.

Jérémie Bouttier has been a professor at Sorbonne Université since 2023. He teaches at the Department of Mathematics (UFR de mathématiques) and conducts his research at the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu–Paris Rive Gauche (IMJ-PRG). Previously, he was a researcher at the Institut de physique théorique of the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA). He has also worked at the Écoles normales supérieures in both Paris (rue d'Ulm) and Lyon. His research lies at the interface between mathematics and theoretical physics, more specifically at the crossroads of combinatorics, statistical physics, and probability theory. He is deeply involved in the scientific community, having organised a thematic trimester at IHP as early as 2009, followed by numerous national and international workshops and conferences.

Appointed on 29 September 2025.

Mariana Graña is a research director at the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in Saclay, where she has been based since 2005. Her research focuses on high-energy physics, and more specifically on string theory. Her work was recognised with the 2021 Paul Langevin Prize. She has assumed several collective responsibilities and has been deeply involved in fostering scientific exchange through the organisation of numerous conferences and thematic workshops. She is also strongly committed to promoting gender parity and inclusion in scientific research.

Research engineer at Sorbonne Université since 2015, she was appointed Secretary general of the Institut Henri Poincaré on 1 March 2025.

Boards

IHP Board has 15 elected members and around twenty appointed or permanent guest members representing the supervisory authorities, the ministry of higher education and research, local authorities and the scientific community. Its role is to ensure that the specific vocation of IHP is respected and to establish the operating and development policy of IHP.
