National research programme Mathematics in interactions (PEPR Maths-Vives)
Bringing mathematics into dialogue with other sciences
Meeting today’s and tomorrow’s challenges calls for a multidisciplinary and innovative scientific approach in which mathematics plays a central role as a universal language. The Maths-Vives research programme aims to strengthen synergies between mathematics and other scientific fields to develop solutions in the fields of life sciences, the environment and society.

Environmental, health and societal challenges are driving a growing need for modelling, simulation and data analysis to understand, anticipate and take action. The programme builds on interdisciplinary projects that bring together mathematicians and researchers from other disciplines to study complex phenomena from multiple perspectives. It explores biological dynamics at all scales, climate change, biodiversity trends and energy resources, as well as networks, human mobility and urban systems.
The potential applications are wide-ranging. The research seeks to improve our understanding of biological, environmental and social risk factors and disease determinants. It also helps anticipate and mitigate the impact of natural events through modelling and simulation, and supports the study of eco-responsible finance and collective behaviour.
Maths-Vives aims to position mathematics as a shared language for shaping the future, at the crossroads of disciplines and at the heart of major contemporary issues. It also seeks to prepare the mathematics of tomorrow, laying the groundwork for future applications.
