The Henri Poincaré Institute reopened its doors to the research community and to the general public on Tuesday, September 1, 2020. We are pleased to welcome you during this very special start to the school year. We wanted to maintain our back-to-school events while adapting them to bring you maximum comfort.

Wearing a mask is mandatory on the Curie campus as well as within the institute. The Institute will not provide masks to the public. Hydro-alcoholic gel is available.

The Henri Poincaré Institute, a place for international scientific exchange, joins the institutions and learned societies that condemn the incarceration in Turkey since May 11^th, 2019, of Tuna Altınel, professor at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1. The academic community is invited to support him here: math.univ-lyon1.fr/SoutienTunaAltinel/

• The third thematic program at the Center Émile Borel "Out of equilibrium systems: interaction between statistical, quantum and disordered dynamics" will begin on September 14 and will maintain its workshops in a "hybrid" format.

The aim of this program is to contribute to the development of a theory of non-equilibrium phenomena. It will address the interplay between the classical and quantum dynamics of many body physical systems evolving out of equilibrium. Traditionally, research in classical and quantum systems has remained separated, the two communities having slightly different goals and using distinct methodologies. Recent outstanding theoretical and experimental developments in both areas show that it is timely to bridge the gap and assemble these two groups of researchers.

Workshop, November 2-6 : Frontiers in out of equilibrium dynamics of many-body systems

For the main public, two events will punctuate this fall:

• Exhibition « Jean Perrin, une œuvre, un héritage », from September 21 to December 18, IHP Library

From September 21, the library will host the exhibition “Jean Perrin, une oeuvre, un héritage” to celebrate the 150^th anniversary of the birth of Jean Perrin, Nobel Prize for Physics in 1926, author of the book Les Atomes, and founder of the Palais de la découverte as well as the Laboratoire de Chimie Physique and the l’Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique, right next to the IHP.

• An exceptional event of scientific and creative production around the theme "mathematics and health", October 9 and 10, IHP

The second edition of the Jam, with the exceptional collaboration of INSERM, will take place during the Fête de la science's weekend, from Friday 9 to Saturday 10 October at the IHP. This year's creation challenge: "which mediation tools to talk about mathematics in the field of health? "

An event co-organized with the SMAI, the SFdS and theAMIES (agency for mathematics in interaction with business and society).
