L'association femmes et mathématiques (English: Association of Women and Mathematics) is a voluntary association promoting women in scientific studies, research, and mathematics created in 1987.[1] This organization currently has about 200 members, including university professors of math, math teachers, sociologists, philosophers and historians that are interested in the "woman question" in scientific domains.[1]
The Association's primary objectives include encouraging and promoting women in STEM fields, assisting in communication between mathematicians, and promoting equality between genders.[1]
It specifically organizes a forum of young women mathematicians, as well as conferences on different topics related to its objectives. They regularly hold a general assembly, either in Paris or outside of the city, based on various themes.[1] The Association also publishes an academic journal.
The association has its headquarters at the Maison des Mathématiciens at l'Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. It participates in different initiatives with other scholarly and professional societies, in particular the Société Mathématique de France (Mathematical Society of France), la Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles (Society of Applied and Industrial Maths), l'Association des Professeurs de Mathématiques de l'enseignement public (Association of Math Professors and Public Teachers) and l'Union des Professeurs de Spéciales, as well as La Commission Française pour l'enseignement des Mathématiques (the French commission for the teaching of mathematics).[2]
The current president of the Association is Anne Boyé, with Laurence Broze and Lisa Morhaim as the vice presidents[3]
