With “Femmes et Sciences” and “Femmes Ingénieurs”, they act as role models for boys and girls teenagers in classes, job fairs… They created a common website (She in Science ) www.elles-en-sciences.org promoting scientific studies and targeted towards teachers, parents and girls; they frequently write letters to ministries and institutions, to protest against inadequate consideration of women scientists, in a time when the issue of equality between men and women is merging, and often disappearing, into the more general problem of diversity. Apart from the role model in classes to attract girls to science, the association principal aim is to support young women mathematicians during their Ph.D preparation. For this purpose the association organizes about every second year the « Forum for young women in maths ».
