LPMA is is a joint laboratory of the Universités Paris VI and Paris VII. It comprises about 70 faculties and 50 PhD students. The laboratory's activities take place in the applied mathematics field and focuses on modelisation, description and analysis of random phenomena. Uncertainty quantification in numerical codes has become one of the main research axes, from the joint action of strong demand from academic and industrial partners, as well as recent developments using advanced techniques from both numerical simulation and probabilistic tools' point of view (variance reduction methods for Monte-Carlo, genetic algorithms, interacting particle systems).

LPMA hosts the activities of two Master's 2 Degrees, which represent more than 200 students each year, a great pool which allows about 50 PhD students at any time. The scientific person in charge of OPUS project also participates in those two Master's degrees. He was the main organizer of CEMRACS 2006. This mathematical summer center for advanced research in scientific computing was dedicated to 'modeling randomness and uncertainty propagation' (smai.emath.fr/ cemracs/cemracs06/). Partners within OPUS, such as CEA, EADS, and EDF, have strongly involved themselves in CEMRACS by offering several research projects, which were short (six weeks) but intense. They were completed throughout the summer and led to the writing of internal reports and publications in the following months. The fruitful collaborations started during CEMRACS should be supported by a new stimulus, which the OPUS project could be head of.
