From November 4 to 8, 2013, the GDR Histoire des Mathématiques organizes his first École. It will take place at the CIRM (Luminy, close to Marseille).

This School is specially directed towards young researchers in the history of mathematics. It is structured along three units, or blocks, each one of which contains a plenary lecture course as well as three workshops in parallel sessions (between the blocks). Roughly half of the teaching will be in English (the other half being in French). A detailed presentation of each block can be downloaded by clicking on its title.
