Jean-Pierre Bourguignon (born 21 July 1947) is a Frenchmathematician, working in the field ofdifferential geometry.

Born inLyon,France, he studied atÉcole Polytechnique inPalaiseau, graduating in 1969. For his graduate studies he went toParis Diderot University, where he obtained hisPhD in 1974 under the direction ofMarcel Berger.^[1]

He was president of theSociété Mathématique de France from 1990 to 1992. From 1995 to 1998, he was president of theEuropean Mathematical Society. He was director of theInstitut des Hautes Études Scientifiques nearParis from 1994 to 2013. Between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2019 he was the President of theEuropean Research Council.

Prof. Bourguignon received thePrix Paul Langevin in 1987 and thePrix du Rayonnement Français in Mathematical Sciences and Physics from theAcadémie des Sciences de Paris in 1997. He is a foreign member of theRoyal Spanish Academy of Sciences. In 2005, he was elected honorary member of theLondon Mathematical Society and has been the secretary of the mathematics section of theAcademia Europaea.^[2]
