Contrary to what happened in 2011 and 2012, the bulk of the current budget (2013) will serve to realize an École du GDR, i.e., a School on « Sources in the history of mathematics », which is not called a Summer School because it will take place at the CIRM (Luminy, close to Marseille) from November 4 to 8, 2013.
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.
Block 1. The variety of mathematical sources and the question of their interpretation.
Organizers Karine Chemla, Renaud Chorlay, Baptiste Mélès, with the active participation of Agathe Keller, Cécile Michel, Christine Proust, Dominique Tournès.
Block 2. Constructing collectives of texts.
Organizers Frédéric Brechenmacher, Hélène Gispert, with the active participation of Jenny Boucard, Matthieu Husson, Philippe Nabonnand, Jeanne Peiffer, Sabine Rommevaux.
Block 3. Problems, methods, and practices of editing mathematical texts in the digital age. Organizers Fabio Acerbi, Alexandre Guilbaud, with the active participation of Ramon Masià, Irène Passeron, Bernard Vitrac.

Voici à titre d’information un extrait de notre demande de renouvellement formulée en 2014.
Le GDR 3398 « Histoire des mathématiques » a été créé par l’INSMI du CNRS en 2011
et prolongé en 2014 pour une deuxième période de quatre ans qui a commencé le 1er janvier 2015. Il a pour vocation de favoriser le développement continu et de qualité de l'histoire des mathématiques en privilégiant une approche fédératrice des activités existant dans ce domaine en France. Dans la mesure de son budget modéré il soutient ainsi, d'une part des activités transversales visant toute la communauté, tel le Séminaire d'histoire des mathématiques de l'IHP, la Revue d'histoire des mathématiques, et la participation de jeunes historien(ne)s des mathématiques de France à la Novembertagung ; et d'autre part des missions individuelles. Pour ces dernières la priorité est accordée :
– aux missions qui contribuent à l'interaction de différentes équipes,
– aux missions de jeunes chercheurs (en particulier, étudiants en thèse) qui ne peuvent pas être pris en charge intégralement par leurs unités de recherche, et
– aux missions d'archives.
The GDR 3398 « Histoire des mathématiques » has been created by the Mathematical Institute of the French National research organisation CNRS in 2011. Its goal is to promote the continuous and quality-oriented development of the history of mathematics by strengthening the interaction between existing activities in this domain of research in France. During the first two years of its existence, the GDR has thus co-sponsoreed :
– activities open to the whole history of mathematics community, such as the Séminaire d'histoire des mathématiques at Institut Henri Poincaré, the Revue d'histoire des mathématiques,
– the participation of young historians of mathematics from France in the yearly Novembertagung,
– as well as individual travels.
For the latter, priority goes to
– trips which enhance the interaction between different research units or teams,
– trips of young researchers (in particuliar, thesis students) which cannot be completely taken on by their home institutions, and to
– trips for archival work.
