The CNRS-UChicago International Research Lab for the Humanities (Humanities IRL) will serve as a hub for collaborative research projects co-conducted by scholars at UChicago and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the largest fundamental science agency in Europe. The Humanities IRL will host CNRS researchers for long- and short-term stays, enabling the integration of top scholars from France into the academic life of the University.

The University of Chicago-CNRS International Research Center for Fundamental Scientific Discovery (IRC Discovery) recently awarded seven PhD Joint Program grants to its sixth cohort of awardees, focusing on topics ranging from quantum technologies and miniaturized solid-state batteries to epistemic vigilance in online communication.

The University of Chicago announced this week the formation of the first U.S.-based node of the Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique and Moléculaire (European Centre for Atomic and Molecular Computation, or CECAM), which will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and collaborations in frontier areas of computational science and technology.
