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

Details on the program here.

Its topic is “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’.
