The Endowment Fund of the Institut Henri Poincaré

In the context of the opening of the Maison Poincaré in 2023, the IHP Endowment Fund has launched several participative financing campaigns (crowdfuding). These campaigns, open to all, aim to promote the projects carried out by the Institut Henri Poincaré, particularly in the context of the diversification of its activities and its extension project.

While the digital sector is booming with the development of data science and artificial intelligence, there are too few candidates for the positions in these fields. Giving people a taste for science has never been so important.

The Maison Poincaré is a center for the dissemination of scientific knowledge, attached to the Institut Henri Poincaré (IHP) and supported by its Endowment Fund. This new museum proposes to approach the multiple facets of math, computer science and related sciences through a lively, playful and multidisciplinary approach.

Your donations will contribute to :

- the development of the museum and its new educational activities, 

- the reception of groups whose social background, geographical distance, or sensory or motor handicap may make it more difficult to come to the museum, 

- the creation of temporary and travelling exhibitions that will participate in a national dynamic of diffusion of the activities of the Maison Poincaré throughout the country for a science open to all.

The Endowment Fund in a few words...

It has the capacity to receive funds exclusively from the private sector from individuals or legal entities whose passions are in line with those of the Institut Henri Poincaré.

 

The Fund's Board of Directors was chaired by Cédric Villani from its inception until March 7, 2019, when Sylvie Benzoni took over as interim Chair. Vincent Lefieux, representing the Cercle des entreprises partenaires de l'IHP on the Board of Directors, was elected President on May 29, 2019.
Through the Endowment Fund, companies and individuals can support the projects carried out by IHP by making financial, in-kind or skill-based contributions.

Eligible for corporate or income tax reductions, these contributions complement state and local funding of IHP projects.

 

The founding organizations of the Fund : CNRS, Sorbonne University (formerly UPMC), and three learned societies in mathematics - the Société Mathématique de France (SMF), the SMAI (Société des Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles), the SFdS (Société Française de Statistiques).
