| Fédération Francilienne de Mécanique | |
 |
The Fédération Francilienne de Mécanique Matériaux Structures et Procédés, in short F2M, CNRS FR 2609, gathers more than 400 researchers, and as many PhD students in the Ile-de-France region. F2M represents a great potential for research in Mechanics of Materials, Structures and Processing. It contributes to strengthen the role of mechanics in science, industry and society. The federation was created by CNRS within the existing labs, and was acknowledged also by the ministry for education. |

| M&MoCS | |
 |
The International Center on Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems (M&MoCS) has been established, under the Art.44 of its Statute by the University of L’Aquila on October 28th 2010. The Center has a wide juridical independence, as much as a Department of an Italian University for both research and teaching. The Center has been founded to be a forum where Mathematics and Numerical Analysis are developed as a tool for describing the behavior of Complex Systems. The topics of interest of the Center are related to mathematical modeling, numerical implementation and testing of physical problems of mechanics of complex systems. |
