Julien_Dumercq

From the 9 to the 12 of May, 400 participants went to Iași congress, in Romania. With 8 countries represented, that was a record for the association and most of the M&L partners went there.

For some, it concluded their LTTA week, for other, it was one more congress. A special occasion to all students to present their research in english, live an international congress like a researcher, and meet some little researchers like them. During tree days, they presented their work with their twins, visited the city, the university, and listened some mathematics conferences.

Liceo Curiel and Lycée Vaclav Havel, Collège Sainte-Véronique and Colegiul Naţional Iasi, Lycée Arago Colegiul Național B.P Hasdeu, Colegiul National Mihai Eminescuand and Lycée Bellevue, Alès, Lycée d’altitude and Colegiul Naţional Emil Racoviţă presented their year-work by twins.

9 students, their mathematic professor and researcher from Warsaw came during one week, in the South-West of France. Their Program ? Mathematics of course, with a 3 hours seminar each day preparing the congress. It was a very good experience in terms off english communication, and mathematics research. The week were about cultural visits such as Lascaux IV, but the most important: living like a South-West french!

The week finished by the most important thing for M&L students: the congress! Two subjects were presented by the two groups of the twin in english, in front of the 500 participants. Very intimidating, but the students, well prepared succeed and impressed the audience.

Julien_Dumercq

25 teachers representing the 10 partner schools (+ 2 invited ones) and the MATh.en.JEANS association gathered on the 31st of May and 1st of June in the Colegiul Naţional Iași (Romania). This second transnational meeting ended the first school-year of Maths&Languages and was the opportunity to review all the activities of the project in 2017-2018.

In short, the physical meetings between twinned teams (LTTAs*) were very much appreciated by students, teachers and researcher as well as joint participations to congresses (in France or in Padova, Italy).  There is more work to be done to harmonise maths research and communication practices and to fix technical issues but everything is running well!

The atmosphere was good and the group looks forward to meeting again in Warsaw for the 3rd transnational meeting (27th-28th of September)!

PS: It should be noted that the M&L partners were pleased to welcome two new schools that are using the M&L approach: Lycée Bellevue (Alès, France) and Colegiul Naţional Mihail Eminescu (Satu Mare, Romania)!
