The International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) is an international non-governmental, non-profit, scientific organisation that promotes theoretical and applied mechanics as a scientific discipline by organising congresses, symposia and summer schools. It is a member of the International Science Council and thereby contributes to a global voice on science. |

The French Mechanics Association (AFM), created in 1997 at the instigation of the High Committee for Mechanics (HCM) and the University Association for Mechanics (AUM), with the decisive support of the Federation of Mechanical Industries (FIM), is a learned society representing the field of mechanics in France as a whole. The creation of the AFM was the result of the desire of 17 thematic scientific associations, some of which decided to merge completely, and numerous major industrialists in the field of mechanics. The AFM therefore took on the role of representing this ‘unique dynamic’ that is the gathering of French mechanics. |

The CNRS is the only research organisation in France that brings together all the scientific disciplines under its aegis. Its strength is having specialists working in complex areas, who understand their subjects in the greatest depth. Interdisciplinarity means bringing these experts together to work on a joint project. The vision underpinning this approach is to explore new scientific questions, which requires cooperation between disciplines, and to set out global strategies to tackle the most pressing challenges to science. These are by definition horizontal and interdisciplinary, as is the case with climate change, health and the environment, and educational inequality. This is why the CNRS encourages the sciences to come together in a dialogue that also includes stakeholders from wider society. |
