The Société Mathématique de France, the SMAI (Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles), and the SFdS (Société Française de Statistiques), in association with the Epijournal de Géométrie Algébrique, announce the "Jean-Pierre Demailly Prize for Open Science in Mathematics". This biennial prize, to be awarded for the first time in 2024, will recognize a project that contributes to open science in mathematics, whether in scientific publishing, collaboration between mathematicians, or free software in mathematics. The prize aims to highlight the importance of these issues, and emphasizes contributions for the benefit of the scientific community as a whole, rather than individual successes.

Application deadline: February 29, 2024. More information here (link).
