We warmly invite the entire mathematical community to attend or watch the panel discussion “Finding and Defining Success in Mathematics: Pathways and Measures,” which will take place on July 24, 3:00-4:30 PM, at the ICM 2026, with the participation of Annalisa Crannell, Fern Hunt, Emily Riehl, and Shelby Wilson.

Mathematics has often emphasized a narrow vision of what a successful career can look like. This panel expands that horizon by celebrating the many dynamic ways success can emerge across research, leadership, industry, and public engagement. Bringing together diverse experiences, perspectives, and insights, the discussion will explore how mathematicians navigate, shape, and define success along different professional pathways. Our hope is to inspire broad and inclusive understandings of achievement and impact across our field.

This panel is jointly organized by the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and the Committee for Women in Mathematics (CWM).
