Highlights

The Lebesgue labex

• makes a world-class research
  as testified by the number of articles published every year in the best international journals, or the IUF nominations
• is attractive
  as shown by the number of CNRS researchers who chose to come there, among all possible math departments in France
• invests in master, PhD and post-doc formation
  with grants at all levels, that have several times given rise to thesis awards
• is dynamical
  with every year the organization of thematic semesters, gathering several conferences or summer schools around one common topic
• participates in the diffusion of mathematics
  notably with the 5 minutes Lebesgue
