CWM invites proposals for funding of up to €3000 for activities or initiatives taking place in 2019, aimed at either (a) establishing or supporting networks for women in mathematics, preferably at the continental or regional level, and with priority given to networks in developing or emerging countries or (b) organizing a mathematical school open to all with all women speakers and mainly women organizers. The applications should be sent to applications-for-cwm@mathunion.org before December 15 2018. For more details see here.

A 20 mn  film created by the IMU Committee for Women in Mathematics, filmed and edited by Micro-Documentaries, made possible by a grant from the Simons Foundation. In the first part of the film Neela Nataraj from India, Aminatou Pecha from Cameroon and Carolina Araujo from Brazil, are featured in their home countries. The second part of the film shows the lively and diverse atmosphere of (WM)^2 and contains short interviews of six women from various Latin American countries. The first part was shown as a World Premiere at (WM)^2, the World Meeting for Women in Mathematics on July 31 2018. >

Remember Maryam Mirzakhani is an exhibition with 18 original poster. Institutions interested in hosting the exhibition can consult the rules of use and contact CWM at exhibition-cwm@mathunion.org. The exhibition opened at (WM)², the World Meeting for Women in Mathematics, and remained open during ICM 2018. It contained also a book of condolences, and volumes with Maryam Mirzakhani's mathematical papers as well as a book with papers about her. Curator: Thais Jordao. Designer: Rafael Meireles Barroso.

CWM organized a satellite meeting of ICM 2018: (WM)²: World Meeting for Women in Mathematics. It took place in the same venue as the ICM in Rio, on  July 31 2018. This meeting report summarizes the main activities. This book of abstracts contains abstracts of invited lectures, mathematical posters and posters relating to the general topic of women in mathematics.

A CWM Panel that took place at ICM Rio on August 2 2018. Brief presentation about IMU CWM by Marie-Francoise Roy, a lecture by June Barrow Green (Open University, UK) "Historical context of the gender gap in mathematics" and a lecture by Silvina Ponce-Dawson (University Buenos Aires, Argentina) "The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics Working Group on Women in Physics: activities and perspectives" followed by reactions from the floor.

An edited sequence of film clips of women saying into the camera "I am (name) from (country), and I am a mathematician!” in the language of their choice. The 146 clips featured 243 women mathematicians from 36 different countries speaking in 31 different languages. Authors Eugenie Hunsicker and Irina Linke.

Members of the CWM are appointed for four years by the IMU Executive Committee and are widely distributed internationally. The CWM has a chair and vice--chair and 6 to 8 members--at--large. One of the CWM members is responsible for the CWM website and electronic communication.

The 2018 Global Survey of Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Scientists has been launched on May 1st, 2018 and will be open for answers until October 31st, 2018. Click to complete the 2018 Global Survey of Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Scientists. You are welcome to forward this link to the survey to your colleagues, both men and women.

CWM posters and flyers are available.   If you want to get a few copies to distribute at a mathematical event or for other display purposes, please contact your CWM country's ambassador.

CWM is using its sponsorship to help establish and foster networks of women mathematicians especially in Asia, Latin America and Africa.  From 2015 to 2018, CWM sponsored events took place in Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mexico , Senegal, Tunisia , Kenya, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Iran, Japan, Morocco, Nepal, South Africa ,Vietnam, Austria, El Salvador, Ethiopia,  Italy (ICTP), Macedonia, Nigeria, Uruguay, Uzbekistan.

CWM random collection of  photos of women mathematicians. Just to make you realise  how many women in mathematics there are, who have overcome the multitude of obstacles placed in their paths.
