The 12th forum of young women mathematicians is to be held at IHP (Institut Henri
Poincaré), Paris, France, November 12th to 14th.

Its theme will be `Algebra and geometries’.

The forum is organized by the French association `Femmes et Mathématiques’ in association with the CNRS (National Center of Scientific Research), its `Mission pour la place des femmes’ (Mission for women’s integration), its National Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INSMI), its Institute for Information Sciences and Technologies (INS2I), and with the French Ministry for Higher Education and Research. It is also supported by the French Mathematical Society (SMF), and the French Society of Applied Mathematics (SMAI).

There will be plenary lectures given by prominent mathematicians as well as parallel sessions with short lectures given by young mathematicians. Besides the scientific program, mentoring sessions will be provided to young mathematicians, as well as awareness activities on parity issues between women and men in higher education and research.

Submissions
================
The call for communications is opened to PhD students and to young mathematicians who just defended their PhD. Applications from male mathematicians will be considered with the same criteria as the applications from women mathematicians. Applications from European countries are also welcome.
Submissions in all mathematical fields are welcome, but a preference will be given to the theme of the forum, namely `Algebra and Geometries’.
