Sophie Germain, from primes to elasticity
A l’occasion de la journée internationale des femmes en mathématiques, célébrée mondialement le 12 mai depuis 2019, le laboratoire de modélisation mathématique et numérique dans les sciences de l'ingénieur (LAMSIN) organise une journée de célébration des femmes mathématiciennes du LAMSIN, en mémoire de Myriam Merzakhani, Prix Fields 2014.
Cet événement sera une occasion unique de célébrer les contributions des femmes en mathématiques, autour du thème :
Power, Perseverance, Potential.
Au programme, des conférences inspirantes animées par :
Every year in May, the Committee of Women in Mathematics (CWM) celebrates Women in Mathematics Day, which is a delightful occasion. The day is celebrated globally with the aim of inspiring women to recognize and commemorate their accomplishments in the field of mathematics. The ultimate goal is to promote an environment that is open, welcoming, and inclusive for everyone.

Celebrating women in mathematics at the faculty of mathematics, the university of science and technology Houari Boumediene, Algeria
Organizamos este espacio conmemorativo para visibilizar el papel histórico y actual de las mujeres en el desarrollo de las ciencias exactas. A pesar de los grandes aportes femeninos a la disciplina, persiste una brecha de género y barreras culturales que a menudo invisibilizan este talento. Surge la necesidad de abrir un espacio de diálogo dentro de la facultad que reconozca estos desafíos, cuestione los sesgos vigentes y ponga sobre la mesa la realidad que enfrentan las mujeres en el ámbito científico.
The University of Technology and Applied Sciences–Suhar (UTAS-Suhar), Oman, is proud to celebrate International Women in Mathematics Day on May 12, 2026, through a special event titled “Women in Mathematics: Inspiring the Future,” organized as part of the global May 12 Initiative.
At a small conference, we had a talk by Dr. Bruna Orefice Okamoto, and four presentations by undergraduate and graduate students.
The event aims to engage high school students and teachers in a morning of seminars and interactive activities, focused on the fundamental role of women in mathematics. The proposed activities include outreach seminars by Silvia Crafa (University of Padua), Marco Cristanini (University of Verona), and Nadia Loy (Polytechnic University of Turin); as well as an artistic/multimedia contest open to groups of students, in which each participating group will present a project about a female mathematician.
A seminar about teaching practices is organized twice a year for the academic staff of the math department of Université de Rennes. On the occasion of May 12, this seminar will focus on pedagogy of gender equality in mathematics. It will consist in a talk about various aspects of pedagogy equality relevant for university teaching, and a discussion about teaching practices.
