Centro Internazionale per la Ricerca Matematica

CIRM stands for “Centro Internazionale per la Ricerca Matematica”. It is a laboratory established in 1979, that is financially supported jointly by three institutions via an agreement that is renewed every three years. These institutions are

• FBK (Foundazione Bruno Kessler), which also offers administrative support,
• University of Trento and its Department of Mathematics, which offers close collaboration and office space to the guests of CIRM,
• INdAM (Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica “Francesco Severi”).

The scientific scope of CIRM is the collaboration of the three institutes with the main objective of promoting and supporting international research in Mathematics, through the organization and co-funding of conferences, workshops, scientific events as well as several research-in-pairs programs.

CIRM is committed to hosting groups of scholars, including prominent senior academics as well as promising young researchers, while also securing diverse groups of participants of the events. While being a relatively small center, CIRM has attracted an average of 430 international mathematical researchers per year in the last 45 years.
