Horizon Maths

The Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris facilitates meetings between mathematicians from its laboratories and the industrial world through Horizon Maths, an annual conference on mathematical topics related to industrial issues.

Last edition

The 2024 edition of Horizon Maths took place Wednesday March 27th 2024 at IHP (11 rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris 5e), Amphi Hermite under the coordination of Hugo Herbelin (IRIF, Inria). The theme of the conference was Mathematical proofs and software safety. Click here for more information and to watch the videos of the conference.

Principle

The first Horizon Maths events were co-organized by the Foundation in partnership with a company (EADS in 2010, AREVA in 2011, TOTAL in 2012, GDF SUEZ in 2013, IFP Energies nouvelles in 2014, IBM France in 2015, Huawei in 2017).

In this highly industry-focused configuration, the major themes around which the presentations are structured are proposed and discussed between the Foundation and the company, who also agree on the choice of speakers from academia and industry, and share the task of soliciting them. The final program is drawn up jointly. The event is generally hosted by the co-organizing company.

Since 2018, the conference format has become more flexible. The 2018 edition, while also focusing on industrial applications, was not designed in partnership with a particular company. The 2019 and 2022 editions concerned interactions of mathematics with another scientific discipline (chemistry and astrophysics respectively) in an academic and (to a lesser extent) industrial setting.

In all cases, in addition to the lectures, ample time is given to discussions between participants, enabling them to clarify certain points, go further on the themes addressed, or initiate a more in-depth exchange that can continue after the event.

Conferences are filmed, with the agreement of each speaker and his or her company. The videos are then posted on the Foundation's website.
