On May 28, 2024, the Osaka Central Advanced Mathematical Institute (OCAMI) signed an academic exchange agreement with the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA). The signing ceremony was attended by Professor Michael Pevzner, representing the Laboratory of Mathematics of Reims, as well as Professor Hiroshi Tamaru, the Director of OCAMI, and Professor Hideyuki Ishi, the Deputy Director of OCAMI. At the beginning of the ceremony, Professor Michael Pevzner and Professor Hiroshi Tamaru gave greetings as representatives, followed by the signing of the agreement and the presentation of commemorative gifts.

Professor Michael Pevzner, a former director of the Laboratory of Mathematics of Reims and a world-renowned researcher in non-commutative harmonic analysis, has conducted numerous joint research projects with Japanese mathematicians. Professor Michael Pevzner and Professor Hideyuki Ishi of OCAMI have known each other for a long time, and during the period when Professor Ishi was at his previous institution, Nagoya University, they utilized inter-university agreements to facilitate active exchanges, including visits by graduate students under their guidance to each other's institutions.

With the signing of this agreement, various educational and research exchanges between the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA) and OCAMI are planned to be promoted. In particular, there are plans to co-host international research meetings and summer schools in which faculty members and graduate students from both institutions will participate.
