Mathnum - Inrae Research Division

INRAE's Research Division for Mathematics and Digital Technologies (MathNum) develops research in applied mathematics, statistics, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence and information technology. Its teams conduct theoretical, methodological and applied research. They are deeply involved in interdisciplinary collaborations with teams from other INRAE divisions and from outside INRAE, thus dealing with a large diversity of data and modelling issues arising from microbiology, systems biology, genetics, population dynamics, and more generally with food, agriculture and environment sciences. Based on its 14 research units (in Paris-Saclay, Jouy-en-Josas, Evry, Rennes, Clermont-Ferrand, Toulouse, Montpellier and Avignon), the MathNum community includes more than 350 people, with permanent staff (researchers, lecturer-researchers, engineers and technicians) and more than 160 PhD students, post-docs and other fixed-term-contract staff members. Its collaborations and partnership encompass many institutes (Cirad, CNRS, Inria, Inserm, IRD.) and universities (Avignon, Clermont-Auvergne, Marseille, Montpellier, Rennes, Saclay, Toulouse.) in France as well as in Europe and in the world.
