We are pleased to announce that we received funding by Cap’Maths to establish an autonomous unit “IMAGINARY France” starting in December 2014. Its purpose is to translate all existing content into French, to have more contributions from French mathematicians and organize exhibitions and events in France. The first meeting to discuss the composition of the team and then plan activities for the coming years, will be held from December 2 to December 4, 2014, in Orsay (French) and Versailles (French).
