ERCOM meeting Paris 2025

In 2025, the traditional meeting of the EMS committee ERCOM (European Research Centres on Mathematics) is organised by the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. The meeting will provide a discussion forum to comment on the situation of mathematics in Europe, seek synergies, establish common strategies, promote the training of researchers, and discuss any other topic of interest. We sincerely invite both directors and administrative representatives of all member and associate centres to participate.
