Workshop UCAGATE: Pour une Plateforme d'Intelligence Territoriale de la Recherche @UCA, organized by Pierre Kornprobst and Mylène Leitzelman (Mnemotix), on May 16 at Inria Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée (Amphi Kahn).

• Le MOnde des Mathématiques Industrielles (MOMI 2017). Dora Karvouniari, Biovision participated to the organizing committee. This is a two-day workshop on applied and industrial mathematics that took place on the 27th and 28th of February, 2017. It was supported by Inria and financed by the Société des Mathématiques Appliquées (SMAI), the Agence pour les Mathématiques en Interaction avec l’Entreprise et la Société (AMIES), and by the Maison de la Modélisation, de la Simulation et des Interactions of Université Côte d’Azur (MSI – UCA). In total, 13 invited speakers and 62 participants (researchers, PhDs, and engineers) attended MOMI 2017.

• The PhD Seminars of Inria Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée are organized and held by PhD candidates every two weeks and aim to share knowledge, and to promote collaborations, all in a friendly and interactive way. Dora Karvouniari, Selma Souihel and Evgenia Kartsaki as past and current members of the organizing committee have been involved in the scheduling, communication and diffusion. These tasks include calls for presentations, calendar planning and promotion of each seminar. Finally, they are also involved in the organization of the MOMI 2017 conference.

• Pierre Kornprobst is an elected member of the Academic Board of UCA (since Nov. 2015). The role of this council is to proceed with the appointment of selection committees and the recruitment of public servants. Also, it validates the global training offer of Nice area, is involved in the global policy of doctoral training, and awards research funding. The council meets one a month and each member also participate to the evaluation of research proposals submitted to UCA${}^{\text{JEDI}}$ calls.

• Pierre Kornprobst leads the working group UCA${}^{\text{GATE}}$ (since May 2016). UCA commissioned an internal task force called UCA${}^{\text{GATE}}$ to set-up an innovative tool that will extract and exploit the richness of skills present in UCA. This tool should (i) foster the emergence of new synergies inside UCA, (ii) enable external visitors and industrial partners to find in UCA expertise they need, (iii) provide analytics to UCA to be used in reporting periods. His role is to animate this working group and guide the development of the software done by the company Mnemotix according to users needs (first prototype in January 2017).

• Pierre Kornprobst is a member of the Comité de Suivi Doctoral (since March 2017).

• Pierre Kornprobst has been appointed by Inria Direction representative of the administration in the advisory committee of Inria contractual doctoral candidates (Représentant de l'administration suppléant au sein de la Commission consultative des doctorants contractuels d'Inria) (on July 2016, for two years).
