The initiative, whose title can be translated as “In Marjorie Rice’s Footsteps: Let’s Play with Tessellations,” will be held at the literary café Binario49 in Reggio Emilia. It is open to anyone interested and is supported by the local university and the city council.

The event takes the form of a journey that begins with the remarkable figure of Marjorie Rice and her work on tessellations, moves through applications in engineering, industry, and mathematics education, and concludes with playful, interactive activities centered on tessellations.

Le 12 Mai c'est la journée internationale des femmes en mathématiques ! À cette occasion nous recevons Agnès Rigny qui nous présentera des trajectoires de femmes mathématicienne.
 

Force est de constater que les femmes sont minoritaires en mathématiques et en informatique, depuis toujours et encore aujourd’hui. C’est d’ailleurs un sujet de préoccupation pour le gouvernement actuel, qui a lancé au début de l’été 2025 le plan « filles et maths ».

Or, de tout temps, il y a eu des femmes qui ont fait des mathématiques.

It is rganized by students from the Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics to commemorate Women in Mathematics Day and promote a dialog about the reality of academic careers for women. Everyone is welcome! There will be academic presentations, an interactive talk between some mathematicians with participation of the public and a session of short talks where women can choose to tell us about their researches or experiences. The format will be hybrid and there is a registration on the website.
