It is the largest research center for fundamental mathematics in France.[1] More than 200 permanent researchers work at the institute, around 100 PhD students, as well as emeritus professors, postdocs, invited researchers, and ATERs, and support staff.
The IMJ-PRG is the largest research unit linked to the doctoral school of mathematical sciences of Paris center (École doctorale de sciences mathématiques de Paris-Centre). It has its own journal, the Journal de l'institut de mathématiques de Jussieu, published by Cambridge University Press and covering all areas of fundamental mathematics.[2]
Each year since 2001, the institute organizes an international summer school dedicated to a hot topic in current mathematical research.
