A historical partner of IHES, the ENGIE Foundation has recently made a gift to IHES supporting early-stage researchers and female visitors at the Institute.<\/b><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”90788″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”195308″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”122333″]<\/p>\n

This support will contribute directly to the Institute\u2019s operational budget, to finance both the organization of summer schools and the visits of women researchers to IHES.<\/p>\n

The IHES summer schools are a major annual event at the Institute aimed at scientists at the beginning of their careers, doctoral students or post-doctoral fellows. By supporting these events, the ENGIE Foundation contributes to the transmission of knowledge and the training of new generations of researchers. In 2023, the ENGIE Foundation will support the summer school \u201cAdvances in algebraic K-theory<\/span><\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n

By supporting the visits of women researchers to IHES, the ENGIE Foundation strengthens its action to make scientific careers more accessible to women, who remain under-represented, especially in mathematics and theoretical physics, two key subjects at IHES.<\/p>\n

With this new gift to IHES, the ENGIE Foundation goes even further in its commitment to support excellence in fundamental research at the highest international level, standing alongside early-stage researchers and women scientists.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the ENGIE Foundation\u2019s gift will be used to support in particular the visit of\u00a0Delaram Kahrobaei<\/span><\/a>, Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at the\u00a0City University of New York (CUNY)<\/span><\/a>, Honorary Chair of Cybersecurity at the\u00a0University of York<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in the United Kingdom and Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at\u00a0New York University<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prof. Kahrobaei first visited IHES in 2004, when she was an assistant professor at the\u00a0University of St. Andrews<\/span><\/a>, UK, and she recently returned to IHES for a three-week visit, which will be funded thanks to the support of the ENGIE Foundation.<\/p>\n

Read\u00a0Delaram Kahrobaei\u2019s portrait on the ENGIE website<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and discover\u00a0here<\/span><\/a>\u00a0her video testimony as part of the series \u201cVoices of Women at IHES<\/span><\/a>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ENGIE Foundation is committed to contributing to the\u00a0Sustainable Development Goals<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in three areas: \u201cHelping Children & Education\u201d, \u201cAccess to Energy, Biodiversity & Climate\u201d and \u201cEmployment and the Fight against Poverty\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Foundation\u2019s three main priorities meet a single requirement: to take care of life and our planet, and to meet the needs of vulnerable or remote populations.<\/p>\n

The ENGIE Foundation is convinced that the role of women is essential to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. In this context, the ENGIE Foundation supports projects according to the following four criteria<\/p>\n
