Created in 2013, the Jean Morlet Chair is a scientific program that aims to welcome internationally-acclaimed researchers for a six-month residence in the south of France. The Chair is open to all areas of mathematical sciences and their interactions and to theoretical physics.
Programme of work
- Six-month collaborative work in residence with a local project leader based at Aix-Marseille University and a thriving community of mathematicians
- Organization of one large conference, one research school, one or two smaller workshops and some research in pairs events. Further opportunities to participate in Masterclasses and/or outreach activities.
This international programme aims to enhance synergies between academic departments and promotes links between established academics and early career researchers, postdoctoral students and PhD students.

PUBLICATIONS
This collection has been a co-publication between the SMF and Lecture Notes in Mathematics (Springer) until 2021. From 2022, it will be published by the SMF in Panoramas et Synthèses.
It is also possible for the chair beneficiaries to choose to publish with other publishers, if this corresponds better to their needs, scientific or geographical areas.
Friends and colleagues of the late Jean Morlet - a French geophysicist who pioneered work in the field of wavelet analysis - were looking for a way to celebrate his work. Morlet had worked with Alex Grosssman to develop what is now known as the wavelet transform and they had met on several occasions in Luminy, along with several other colleagues. Originally, people thought to name a house after Jean Morlet in the ground of CIRM Luminy and dedicate it to hosting visiting mathematicians and physicists. In 2012, under Director Patrick Foulon, the decision was made to expand this idea by linking it to a brand new scientific programme that would be an exciting opportunity to develop pioneering work in all fields of mathematical sciences while boosting the international attractiveness of Aix-Marseille University and its region. The Jean-Morlet Chair was born!
