The FMJH was created by five "historic" founding members, who are still with us today, albeit with variations in the governance of the Paris-Saclay site (Université Paris-Sud disappeared in favor of Université Paris-Saclay, ENS Cachan was renamed ENS Paris-Saclay). Nevertheless, the foundation is open and since 2013 has pursued an inclusive policy to involve new institutions wishing to commit to this joint project to develop and structure mathematics on the Paris-Saclay Campus.
Founding members
Paris-Saclay University
As the largest higher education and research establishment in the south of the Ile de France region, Université Paris-Saclay is also one of Europe's most prestigious research universities. Multidisciplinary, it offers a continuum of skills ranging from the exact sciences to the clinical practice of medicine, including all disciplines such as computer science, physics and pharmacy. In addition to this broad range of disciplines, law, economics and management give it a broad outlook on society.
École polytechnique
École Polytechnique is a world-class institution of higher education and research with a strong scientific focus. Its range of courses is structured around three cycles - engineering, masters and doctorate. Within Ecole Polytechnique, the Research Center is dedicated to working on all major scientific issues at the frontiers of knowledge, and to creating an ecosystem conducive to innovation.
École Normale Supérieure de Paris Saclay (ENS PS)
Scientific research and training are fundamental missions of ENS PS. In addition to the opportunities offered by higher education, the school also trains executives for public authorities and major corporations. ENS PS's main areas of activity are technology, science, management and the social sciences.
Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES)
The Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) is an institute for advanced research in mathematics, theoretical physics and related sciences. A private establishment, the IHES has been a recognized public utility foundation since 1981. It offers scientists of exceptional stature a place where they can devote themselves entirely to their research, without any teaching or administrative obligations, and welcome visitors to work together.
CNRS - Centre national de la recherche scientifique
As France's leading multidisciplinary research organization, the CNRS conducts research in all areas of science, technology and society. Covering the full spectrum of scientific fields, it is present in all major disciplines, grouped within ten institutes, including the Institut national des sciences mathématiques et de leurs interactions.
Associate members of the FMJH
- AgroParisTech
- CentraleSupélec
- ENSAE Paris
- ENSIIE
- ENSTA Paris
- INRAe
- Université d'Evry Val d'Essonne
- Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin en Yvelines
- Inria Saclay
- Telecom Paris

The mathematical community is represented within these associated institutions by some twenty research units, which are therefore de facto affiliated to the FMJH. The list of these units is available here.
Map of mathematical research on the Paris-Saclay campus
The Paris-Saclay Campus occupies a large geographical area south of Paris. It brings together two entities, the Université Paris-Saclay and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, with which are affiliated scientific research laboratories supported by research organizations such as the CNRS, INRIA, INRAE or the CEA.
The international recognition of the mathematical community of the Paris-Saclay Campus makes it one of the best destinations in the world for young people looking for a high level training in mathematics or a place to do post-doctoral research. Mathematical research on the Paris Saclay Campus is made up of more than 500 mathematicians holding permanent positions in laboratories and research teams spread across this vast territory and covering the entire spectrum of mathematics.
This diversity, both geographic and thematic, is a source of wealth, but it is also a source of complication for those who are trying to figure out which theme or place to come to for a PhD or post-doctorate. It is to facilitate this search that we have designed the map of mathematical research on the Paris Saclay campus.
