Jean-Pierre Bourguignon new president of the European Research Council

Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, the 2nd president of the European Mathematical
Society (1995-98), will be the next president of the European Research
Council (ERC). Professor Bourguignon was nominated for this position by the
EMS to a search committee set up by the European Commission.

Since 2007, the ERC has funded European top researchers through grants (ERC
starting grants, consolidator grants, advanced grants, proof of concept and
synergy grants) given on the base of applications that are evaluated by
expert panels. In Horizon 2020, the ERC appears as a crucial component in
the EU long-term research strategy to support the most talented and
creative scientists in blue-sky research.

As a mathematician, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon is well known for his
contributions to modern differential geometry. He was the president of the
French Mathematical Society SMF (1990-1992). Since 1994, and until his
retirement in August 2013, he has served mathematicians and physicists all
over the world as director of the prestigious research centre Institut des
Hautes Études Scientifiques at Bures-sur-Yvette close to Paris.

Through his remarkable activity, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon has promoted
collaboration between mathematicians and researchers from other sciences.
He also has been enthusiastically involved in activities raising the public
awareness of mathematics, like films and exhibitions.

The EMS congratulates him very warmly for this achievement and looks
forward with great pleasure to good benefits for the ERC and for science in
Europe under his leadership.

The European Mathematical Society
