Since 2007, CNRS has been linked to the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences via an international research laboratory (IRL CNRS-PIMS), renewed in 2024 for the third time.

PIMS is a multi-site laboratory, divided between the ten universities that make it up:

Exchange from France to PIMS

Long-term (minimum six months): CNRS assignments and delegations

CNRS researchers from CNRS laboratories in France can be assigned to PIMS. After obtaining a CNRS delegation, tenured teacher-researchers can also be assigned to PIMS.

The PIMS Globalink program enables doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers who are members of a mathematics laboratory supervised by the CNRS to apply for research grants at a PIMS member university.

Exchange from PIMS to France

Medium-term (minimum two months): the PIMS-Europe scholarship program

Any PIMS member (assistant, associate or full professor) can apply for a PIMS-Europe scholarship for a minimum two-month stay in France.

Medium-term (three months): CNRS postes rouges.

The postes rouges (red posts) program offers mathematicians working in an institution outside France the opportunity to spend three months in a laboratory in France between February 1, 2025 and November 30, 2025.

The PIMS Globalink program enables doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers at PIMS member universities to apply for research grants in one of the mathematics laboratories supervised by the CNRS.
