Support for Participation in an Industrial Problem-Solving Workshop in Montreal

Deadline: February 28, 2025 The Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM), the Institute for Data Valorization (IVADO), and the Group for Research in Decision Analysis (GERAD) are organizing a problem-solving workshop in Montreal from June 2 to 6, 2025. These workshops are the Canadian equivalent of the Semaines d’étude mathématiques - entreprises in France: participants (from industry or academia) form teams, each of which analyzes a problem provided by a company or institution. The workshop provides an opportunity for academic scientists to tackle real-world problems and for companies to access the expertise of researchers in statistics and mathematics.

Scholarships for Master’s Studies in France

Deadline: February 6, 2025 (11:59 PM UTC+1, 17h59 EST) The Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris and the Embassy of France in Canada offer Canadian students the opportunity to receive a scholarship to pursue a Master’s program in France, in the Paris region, thanks to a scholarship of €1,150 per month, along with coverage of social security, university registration fees, and a round-trip journey. In the French university system, the Master’s degree is a two-year program corresponding to the fourth and fifth years of higher education. It leads either to professional integration or to a formation through and for research (PhD), offering a pathway adaptable to both situations. The list of eligible programs covers a wide range of mathematics fields.
