Organized by the CRM in collaboration with the Institut des sciences mathématiques (ISM), the Colloque des sciences mathématiques du Québec (CSMQ), resumes its series of seminars in virtual format for the year 2020-2021. In addition, the colloquiums of the Statistics Lab will join the CSMQ, but they will be at 3:30 p.m. instead of 3 p.m.
The Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM) and the Institut des sciences mathématiques (ISM) are pleased to announce the creation of 10 postdoctoral positions for young mathematical scientists. This is an enhanced offer to counter the impacts of the COVID crisis. The CRM is proud to subscribe to the Université de Montréal’s policy on adapting to diversity and is committed to taking into account the diversity and the systemic and individual barriers to access.
The Royal Society of Canada announced on September 15 that Professor Christian Genest of McGill University is the ninth recipient of the John L. Synge Award. Established in 1986 in honor of the Irish mathematician and physicist John Lighton Synge (1897-1995), this distinction is given from time to time for outstanding research in mathematical sciences. Christian is the first statistician and the second CRM member to receive this prize. Another McGill professor, number theorist Henri Darmon, had been the sixth recipient in 2008.
The CRM is proud to announce the nomination of one of its most distinguished members, Louis-Paul Rivest, as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC). This is the highest honor that can be bestowed on a Canadian working in the arts, social sciences or sciences.

The CRM-Fields-PIMS prize recognizes exceptional research achievement in the mathematical sciences. The winner's research should have been conducted primarily in Canada or in affiliation with a Canadian university. The main selection criterion is outstanding contribution to the advancement of research. The winner receives a monetary award, and an invitation to present a lecture at each institute.
The Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM), the Fields Institute, and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) invite nominations each year for the joint CRM-Fields-PIMS award. Last year’s recipient was Catherine Sulem, University of Toronto.
This year, nominations should be submitted by November 1st, 2020 , by at least two sponsors of recognized stature, and should include the following elements: three supporting letters, curriculum vitae, list of publications, and up to four preprints.
A true incubator for collaborations between companies and researchers, this workshop is part of a Canadian tradition to study real-world problems for which companies and public or parapublic organizations require solutions.
The Fields Institute in association with the Centre for Disease Modelling, AARMS, PIMS and the CRM
presents Café mathématique, a free public forum where anyone can learn how math underpins our understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A new weekly Seminar Series (every Tuesday of the Summer at 10 am) starts on Tuesday June 23, 2020 at 10 am. To register, visit the new web page : CRM CAMP in Nonlinear Analysis
Creation of the CRM-ISM-AMQ award for an exceptional publication
It is our pleasure to announce the establishment of the CRM-ISM-AMQ Prize, to be awarded annually for an outstanding publication in the Annales mathématiques du Québec (AMQ) . The new prize has been created in collaboration between the Centre de recherches mathématiques, the Institut des sciences mathématiques (ISM) and the AMQ.
Awarding Rules: The prize is awarded at the end of each calendar year. To be eligible, the paper must be published in the AMQ during that or the previous year. The winning paper is selected by the Editorial Board; no nominations are required.
The monetary value of the prize is CAD $1000. For the first time, the prize will be awarded in December 2021 to one of the papers published in the years 2021 or 2020.
Created in 1935, the IMS is a professional and scholarly society of international repute fostering the development and dissemination of the theory and applications of statistics and probability; it has over 3500 active members. Each year, the IMS selects a class of Fellows who have demonstrated excellence in research or leadership in probability or statistics. This high distinction was awarded this year to 35 individuals, including professors Addario-Berry, Nešlehová, and three other Canadians. For a summary of their achievements and a complete list of the 2020 IMS Fellows.

The CRM-SSC Prize in Statistics is awarded annually by the Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM) and the Statistical Society of Canada (SSC) in recognition of outstanding research carried out primarily in Canada by a statistician during the first fifteen years after completing a PhD. The 2020 recipient of this prize is Erica Moodie, William Dawson Scholar and Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Occupational Health at McGill University. | Read more
Both classical and central to modern mathematics, mathematical analysis lies at the core of our understanding of any continuous system. The mathematical analysis laboratory has undertaken in-depth studies of dynamical systems, partial differential equations and spectra of operators.
The objective of CAMBAM (Center for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine) is the application of mathematics to address biological challenges across all levels of biological organisation ranging from the molecular/genetic through single cell and whole organ physiology to population and ecosystem dynamics.
CICMA is an inter-university research center officially established in 1989. Its research activities are concentrated on number theory, arithmetic geometry, computational algebra and sporadic finite groups.
CIRGET is a joint force of researchers at the cutting-edge of international research in differential geometry, topology, geometric group theory and mathematical physics.
GIREF gathers researchers and research groups from several academic institutions in order to facilitate research, development, training of specialists and interaction with the industrial circles in the field of modeling an numeric simulation.
Founded in 1982, LaCIM is one of the principal research center in combinatorics, algebraic combinatorics and theoretical computer science on the international scene.
As a result of state-of-the-art computational resources, it has become possible to simulate problems and figure solutions that we only dreamed of a decade ago. This has been a driving force in the creation of this laboratory.
Mathematical physics represents one of the traditional strengths of the CRM since the beginning of the 1970's. Research focus on several of the most active scientific areas in mathematical physics.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are dynamic and ever-expanding disciplines. The incorporation of MILA into the CRM will give the CRM a more important role within the so-called “digital strategy” of the Québec government.
The work of PhysNum is focused on cerebral imaging and its method. Started within a collaboration with INSERM (Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière) and the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal, this trend took shape during the study of reconstruction signals in magnetoencephalographic problems.
Probability lab members pursue research in a broad range of areas, spanning theoretical and applied, continuous and discrete probability. A particular focus is on the development and analysis of probabilistic models for real-world phenomena from physics, biology, statistics and computer science.
The Actuarial and Financial Mathematics Laboratory is an inter-university group of researchers focused on the mathematics of actuarial science and finance. Its research activities are concentrated on the applications of probabilistic and statistical techniques to analyze random events with financial impact.
Statistics is central to many endeavours in society. Whether it be through surveys from sampling, clinical trials to study various biomedical treatments or experimental designs in agriculture or industry, statistical methodology can be found everywhere in science. The statistics laboratory rallies a great number of statisticians from Eastern Canada.
