2021 11 27: Popularization Action: The Institute of Mathematics for Planet Earth (IMPT) was created in 2021. For the beginning of its activities, IMPT organized an inaugural event for a general public audience at the famous Musée des Confluences in Lyon: Paul Vigneaux and Guillaume Chambon were invited to present their work associated to the VPFlows project. They were one of the four groups invited to illustrate the fruitful interaction between mathematics and geophysics. More details here and there

Vigneaux made a presentation on mathematical modelling of avalanches @ Ecole Centrale de Lyon. SML in brief: Created in 2012, they are primarily aimed at post-baccalaureate science students (in university, preparatory class, engineering school, etc.), but also at any interested public (amateurs, teachers, researchers, etc.). More details here and there
