CWM sponsors a number of events and activities with the aim of encouraging women in mathematics, with priority given to developing or emerging countries. Our main focus has been aimed at establishing or supporting networks at the continental or regional level. Other events, workshops and projects have also been supported.
Associations in individual countries with a regional impact have also been sponsored.
The deadline for proposition activities taking place in 2023 is December 23 2022. See CWM 2023 call.
