Rendez-vous en France

The award ceremony of the Irène Joliot-Curie Prize 2023 saw the Special Prize of Commitment awarded to a scientist woman committed in the orientation of girls to science courses. Olga Paris-Romaskevich, a mathematician and scientific mediator, and international alumni, attended a doctoral training course in joint supervision (Russia/France).

To celebrate Women’s Rights Day, the French government’s information website chose to combine three concepts: Tech, entrepreneurship and gender equality to draw the portrait of four women who drew attention during the world fair Vivatech and the launch of the “Tech for all” programme. Four women entrepreneurs were awarded for their original experience, and one is Fatoumata Ly, a Guinean alumnus, and co-founder and general director of Ninti Health.

The Olympic and Paralympic Games of Paris 2024 are just in sight, but the Week of French Language and Francophonie organised from 16 to 24 March has just climbed on the podium. Sur le podium (On the podium) is indeed the subject of the week that will celebrate sport in all its olympic formats in addition to the French language and the French-speaking world. Isn’t French the official language (with English) of the Games since 1896?
