ICM2022

The need to coordinate and enhance the

relationship between the mathematical

community and the industrial/services sector

led to the creation of a specific national

agency in 2011, AMIES, and of a new European

coordinating network, EU-MATHS-IN, in 2013.

A particular effort has been made to promote

collaborations with small and medium-

sized enterprises and startup companies.

Within 4 years, AMIES succeeded in

doubling the number of companies that have

active collaborations with mathematical

departments, and the goal is to maintain a

20% growth rate in order to double those

numbers again by 2020. To this end, AMIES

initiated several programs such as for

instance SEME (Semaines d’Études Math-

Entreprises), inspired by the ESGI (European

Study Groups with Industry), launched in

Oxford in 1968. Several international SEME

sessions will be organized in 2022, in the

wake of ICM 2022. Let us also mention the

success of the Math Job Fair (FEM), with

an increasing number of participants (more

than 1800 in the fourth job fair in 2014).

On the initiative of CNRS and SMAI, with

the support of Inria, AMIES, SMF and SFdS,

workshops are organized several times a year

to allow mathematicians from academia and

industry to present and discuss new results

and possible new applications.

The organization of ICM 2022 in Paris will

be supported by large French companies as

explained in the letter of intent from MEDEF,

the largest employer federation. We also

anticipate that some of the most innovative

and technological small and medium-sized

enterprises and startup companies will

support events showcasing the importance

of mathematics for the acceleration of

innovation and the development of the

technology.

As well as organizing a number of SEMEs as

satellite events of ICM 2022 in Paris, other

activities, such as a series of exhibitions

showcasing success stories of industrial

collaboration could be organized in Paris and

other French cities in 2022.
