Invited professors
The Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris finances, for external scientists, stays of two or three months in one of the laboratories affiliated with the foundation, primarily to promote new collaborations and/or interactions. These stays may include visits or collaborations in laboratories outside the foundation. Applications for stays of less than two months or more than three months will not be considered for this program. Applications are reviewed regularly.

Cooperation with the Fields Institute
The cooperation between the FSMP and the Fields Institute provides for exchanges of junior researchers and visits of senior researchers will be organized between the two institutions.
- Junior Researchers and PostdocsPostdocs and other junior researchers from Fields and FSMP will be encouraged to spend periods of 1 to 3 months at an institution under the other organization, with the aim of expanding their centers of scientific interest.
- Senior ResearchersSenior researchers from Fields and the FSMP will be able to designate collaborators whom they wish to invite for research visits to their institution, for periods defined jointly, typically between 1 and 3.
These exchanges and visits must fall within the scope of the FSMP Guest Professors program.
Invitations as part of the INSMI-CRM-FMJH-FSMP collaboration for France-Quebec cooperation
The National Institute of Mathematical Sciences and their Interaction (Insmi), the Mathematical Research Center (CRM), the Jacques Hadamard Mathematical Foundation (FMJH) and the Paris Mathematical Sciences Foundation (FSMP) have signed an agreement aimed at stimulating cooperation in mathematical research between France and Quebec in the direction of their respective missions.
This agreement involves the establishment of exchanges of doctoral students, as well as exchanges of researchers.
