Published by the French Mathematical Society (SMF), the Revue d'histoire des mathématiques <https://smf.emath.fr/publications/revue-dhistoire-des-mathematiques> features original articles (in French or English) devoted to the history of the mathematical sciences, from antiquity to the present day. Every year the editorial board invites speakers who have recently completed their PhD dissertation in the mathematical sciences, examined both in terms of their own development and in relation to other disciplines or to their cultural, institutional, and social context.

This year, they will present on Friday November 27, 2026, see here<https://www.sin-aps.fau.de/files/2026/10/RdHM-2026-Abstracts-1.pdf> for the Book of Abstracts:
