From Peter Tankov:

I am writing to let you know about the multidisciplinary summer school and research stay “CEMRACS 2026 – Modeling and AI for Environmental Transition”, to be held at the Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (CIRM) in Marseille, that we are organizing with a group of colleagues.

CEMRACS 2026 is aimed at PhD students, advanced master’s students, and junior researchers, and will focus on mathematical and statistical modeling and artificial intelligence applied to key challenges in: environmental and energy economics, actuarial science, sustainable finance, ecology, and climatology.

The event consists of:

• A one-week summer school (July 13–17, 2026)
• A five-week research session (July 20 – August 21, 2026)

During the research session, participants will work in small groups on research projects supervised by senior researchers. Participants may attend only the summer school, or both the summer school and the research session (the latter subject to selection). Successful applicants to the research session will be fully funded for 6 weeks.

Deadlines

• Application to the research session: March 31, 2026
• Summer school registration: March 31, 2026 (early bird) or May 31, 2026

Please encourage your PhD students and post-docs interested in environmental topics to register/apply. The CEMRACS research stay is a uniquely rich scientific experience and a catalyst for long-term collaborations.

Best wishes,
