Highlights | Henri Lebesgue Center

The Lebesgue labex

makes a world-class research
as testified by the number of articles published every year in the best international journals, or the IUF nominations
is attractive
as shown by the number of CNRS researchers who chose to come there, among all possible math departments in France
invests in master, PhD and post-doc formation
with grants at all levels, that have several times given rise to thesis awards
is dynamical
with every year the organization of thematic semesters, gathering several conferences or summer schools around one common topic
participates in the diffusion of mathematics
notably with the 5 minutes Lebesgue
