The UFR de Mathématique et d'Informatique is the heir to a long tradition of mathematics in Strasbourg's academic world. Since the rise of the information sciences, computer science has found its place in the UFR, which is naturally organized into two teaching departments: the Mathematics Department and the Computer Science Department.

The UFR de Mathématique et d'Informatique de l'Université de Strasbourg is home to over 2,000 students and 165 lecturers, professors and doctoral students. It also employs over thirty administrative staff to run the administrative and technical services.

The UFR offers a wide range of courses in mathematics and computer science. The distinctive feature of university courses is their proximity to scientific research. Indeed, the UFR's teacher-researchers are all attached to a research unit, namely the Institut de Recherche Mathématique Avancée (IRMA), for mathematicians, and the Laboratoire des Sciences de l'Ingénieur, de l'Informatique et de l'Imagerie (ICube) for computer scientists. These two units represent a very broad spectrum of scientific research in mathematics and computer science respectively. Both the theoretical and applied sides of scientific research are represented.

The EuroPython Society (EPS) is a Swedish non-profit organization which organizes EuroPython conferences, supports the Python community in Europe and holds the rights to the EuroPython conference series and trademarks.

The EPS was formed in 2004, with the mission to turn EuroPython into a successful Python conference series for the years to come. In 2016, we have extended our mission to further the use of the programming language Python in Europe and organize events centered around the programming language Python to support this.

The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers. The majority of the PSF's work is focused on empowering and supporting people within the Python community. The PSF has active grant programs that support sprints, conferences, meet ups, user groups, and Python development efforts all over the world. In addition, the PSF underwrites and runs PyCon US, the primary Python community conference. Being part of the PSF means being part of the Python community. Recently we changed the PSF to an open membership organization, so that everyone who uses and supports Python can join. To learn more, visit https://www.python.org/psf/membership.
