The second (WM)^2 will be held on July 5th, 2022, at the Expoforum International Convention & Exhibition Centre in Saint Petersburg, as a special satellite event of the ICM 2022.. Welcome to  scientific lectures, group discussions about the gender gap in mathematics and networking, and to  the exhibition "МАТЕМАТИКА, through a land of mathematics”, to be inaugurated during the event.

Scientists around the world have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.  Women are hit particularly hard, especially those
at an early stage of their careers. The Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science calls for all individuals and institutions engaged in science to join forces in supporting women colleagues whose research careers are jeopardized by the pandemic.

As a result of the CWM 2021 call, AWMA’s  special day for women in mathematics at PACOM 2021, the upgrade of the reporting of May 12 initiative , as well as the exhibition project, “МАТЕМАТИКА, through a land of mathematics,” to be premiered at (WM)²  2022, were selected. The project of Indian Women in Mathematics and two thematical mathematical activities in Latin America and Pakistan were also approved.

The  Gender Gap in Science Book can be found here. It can also be ordered as a printed book through many retailers worldwide. For example on Book Repository

A booklet in several languages summarizing the results of the project and presenting its recommendations can be found here.

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.

A 20-min 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.

Its first version was premiered at the first World Meeting for Women in Mathematics (WM)².

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. See list of members here.

CWM is using its sponsorship to help establish and foster networks of women mathematicians especially in Asia, Latin America and Africa.  From 2015 to 2019, 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, Cameroon, Argentina, Dominican Republic.

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.
