These events are aimed at young girls in their final year of secondary school or high school.

The main objectives of "Women and Mathematics" are to encourage the presence of girls in mathematical studies and more generally in scientific and technical studies, to act for parity in the professions of mathematics and computer science for the recruitment of more women in the universities. To promote the participation of women in mathematics and computer science. To sensitize the scientific and educational community to the issue of gender equality. To be a meeting place for women mathematicians.
