The cooperation between the FSMP and the Fields Institute provides for exchanges of junior researchers and visits by senior researchers between the two institutions.

Junior researchers and postdoctoral fellows
Postdoctoral fellows and other junior researchers from Fields and the FSMP will be encouraged to spend periods of 1 to 3 months at an institution belonging to the other organization, with the aim of broadening their scientific interests.

Senior researchers
Senior researchers from Fields and FSMP will be able to designate collaborators they wish to invite for research visits to their institution for periods defined jointly, typically between one and three months.

These exchanges and visits must fall within the scope of the FSMP Visiting Professors program.
