SPM - Actions

2025-2030

Over five years, the SPM programme is rolling out a series of initiatives designed to foster dialogue between the physics, mathematics, and probability communities on common themes. Colloquiums, calls for applications, seminars, and interdisciplinary meetings will punctuate this collective adventure.

2025-2026: Launch of the programme

In June 2025, a kick-off day marked the official start of SPM programme.

At the beginning of the 2025 a call for applications (from September 15 to November 16, 2025) selected two Junior Research Chairs (JRC) for the 2026 academic year.

Two major scientific events punctuate 2026:

•    March 9–10, 2026: Colloquium on Generalized Hydrodynamics, organized by Alvise Bastianello, Friedrich Hübner, Alessandra Iacobucci, Ronan Memin, and Stefano Olla.

•    May 18–20, 2026: Conference on Recent Progress on Self-Interacting Processes and Non-Reversible Monte Carlo (DMA), organized by Brune Massoulié and Julien Brémont.

Finally, on June 2, 2026, a colloquium at Paris Dauphine University - PSL will close this first stage.

2026-2027: consolidation and outreach

The programme will be enriched by a summer school, two guest colloquiums, and a one-day symposium open to a wide audience.

2027-2028: exchanges and continuity

Two guest colloquiums and a new symposium day will strengthen collaboration between teams.

2028-2029: interdisciplinary dialogues

The first semester of 2028 will be devoted to a series of thematic discussions at the Institut Henri Poincaré on the links between statistical physics and mathematics.

2029-2030: conclusion of the programme

The final year will feature two guest colloquiums, a public open day, and a closing event bringing together all the programme's partners and participants.
 

JUNIOR RESEARCH CHAIR

In October 2025, the programme welcome its first two postdoctoral fellows as JRC, Friedrich Hübner (LPENS) and Ronan Memin (DMA).

In 2026, we welcome two new Junior Chair Holders:

Yuan MIAO is joining LPENS teams in 2026.
Panagiotis ZOGRAFOS comes to the CEREMADE at 2026 fall.

A new call for applications for two JRCs will be launched in September 2026 for 2027, and in September 2027 for 2028.
