The visitor programme represents the institute’s most important scientific activity. Each year, around 200 researchers are selected by the Scientific Council, after an application procedure. Drawn by the spontaneous and sometimes unexpected interactions that the Institute makes possible and encourages, visitors stay on average for 2.5 months.
Triennial chairs provide considerable flexibility for organising scientific activities, with the possibility of inviting collaborators and organising events, and chair holders can stay for longer periods at the Institute.

This chair was created in 2006 thanks to the trust and support of Schlumberger and is dedicated to topics at the interface with high technology.
The Schlumberger Chair for Mathematical Sciences
Thierry Coquand is a professor in computer science at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
Schlumberger Chair for Mathematical Sciences
Nader Masmoudi is a professor of mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at the University of New York since 2008. He moved to France to study mathematics first at Ecole Normale Superieure, and later on at université Paris-Dauphine, where he obtained his PhD under the supervision of Pierre-Louis Lions, working on asymptotic problems in fluid mechanics.
Created in 2018 by William R. Hearst III in tribute to Mazur couple, this Chair is reserved to a Professor in Mathematics.
Gretchen et Barry Mazur Chair
A professor of mathematics at Yale University, Alexander Goncharov is particularly interested in several areas of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics, such as Hodge theory and motives, representation theory, Higher Teichmüller theory, quantization of moduli spaces of local systems and scattering amplitudes.
Created by Robert Penner, a mathematician and invited researcher for more than 25 years, the Alexzandria Figueroa and Robert Penner Chair enables to receive a high-calibre mathematician.
Alexzandria Figueroa and Robert Penner Chair
Professor of mathematics at University of Zurich, Joseph Ayoub is interested in cohomology of algebraic varieties and the theory of motives.
The Israel Gelfand Chair was created in 2014 in honour of the great mathematician. It symbolises scientific excellence and the sharing of knowledge, two of the Institute’s fundamental values. Israel Gelfand himself came to IHES more than ten times to carry out his research.
Israel Gelfand Chair in mathematics
Olivia Caramello is a mathematician working as Associate Professor at the Università degli Studi dell'Insubria in Como. Her research focuses on investigating the role of Grothendieck toposes as unifying spaces in Mathematics and Logic.
Israel Gelfand Chair in mathematics
Dennis Gaitsgory is a professor of mathematics at Harvard University, known for his research on the geometric Langlands program.
The Louis Michel Chair for Theoretical Physics was created in 2000 in honour of Louis Michel, permanent professor in physics from 1962 to 1992.
Louis Michel Chair
Anton Kapustin is a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology. He is interested in quantum field theory in general, with applications to particle physics and condensed matter theory.
Louis Michel Chair
Eliezer Rabinovici is Leon H. and Ada G. Miller professor at the Racah Institute of Physics, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and holds the Louis Michel Chair at IHES since September 2015. His area of research is theoretical high-energy physics, in particular quantum field theory and string theory.
Created in 2013 in honour of René Thom, a mathematician and permanent professor at IHES from 1963 to 1990, this chair supports a researcher working on theoretical biology.
René Thom Chair
Robert C. Penner is Visiting Researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles.
