JEAN-PIERRE BOURGUIGNON

Professor Jean-Pierre Bourguignon was the Director of the Institut des 
Hautes Études Scienti ques (IHÉS) from 1994 till 2013. This 
international research institute located near Paris, France, was built 
as the European counterpart of the Institute for Advanced Study in 
Princeton. He was also the rst ERC Panel Chair in Mathematics, for 
Starting Grants.

A mathematician by training, he spent his whole career as a fellow of 
the Centre National de la Recherche Scienti que (CNRS). He held a 
Professor position at École polytechnique from 1986 to 2012. From 1990 
to 1992, he was President of the Société Mathématique de France and 
President of the European Mathematical Society from 1995 to 1998. He is 
a former member of the Board of the EuroScience organisation (2002-2006) 
and served on EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) committees since 2004. Since 
2014 he is President of the European Research Council

Professor Bourguignon received the Prix Paul Langevin in 1987 and the 
Prix du Rayonnement Français in Mathematical Sciences and Physics from 
the Académie des Sciences de Paris in 1997. He is a foreign member of 
the Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences. In 2005, he was elected honorary 
member of the London Mathematical Society and has been the secretary of 
the mathematics section of the Academia Europaea. In 2008, he was made 
Doctor Honoris Causa of Keio University, Japan, and, in 2011, Doctor 
Honoris Causa of Nankai University, China.

ABOUT THE EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF MATHEMATICS

The rst European Congress of Mathematics was held in the Sorbonne 
(Paris), July 6-10, 1992. It was organised by the Société Mathématique 
de France (SMF) when professor Bourguignon was its president and the 
Société Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles (SMAI) under the 
auspices of the European Mathematical Society. There were about 1300 
participants coming from 58 countries.

8th ECM will be held in Congress center Bernardin, Portorož organized by 
the University of Primorska in collaboration with other research 
institutions.

The lecture is organised by the University of Primorska and the 
Slovenian Business & Research Association, Brussels.
