A Research Symposium on women in mathematics will take place in London at the Senate House Library in May 2025. This is a call for papers for researchers and graduate students, who are interested in unravelling entanglements between gender, science and culture, excavating the history of women mathematicians, scientists and philosophers, but also, re-imagining the future of gender and science education in general and women in mathematics in particular.

Deadeline for the call for papers by June 30, 2024. More information here.

The May 12 initiative group is launching the May 12 2024 campaign. The May12 initiative brings together local or virtual events celebrating women in mathematics which take place in the period 1 May to 15 June. The main focus are initiatives coming from within academia.

One special idea in 2024: Courtesy of Les films d’ici, are offered the two 11 minutes-length animated documentaries "Alicia Boole in the land of polytopes /Alicia Boole au pays des polytopes »  and « Kovaleskaya' Spinning Top/La toupie de Kovaleskaya », to be screened between 1st and 20th of May.

The workshop offers junior female researchers in stochastics a platform to present their research and network in an informal setting. For details on abstract submission, travel support (including female Master’s students!) and registration, visit the website.
Registration deadline: April 13, 2024.

The National Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of Argentina celebrates its 150 years of existence. Its board of directors will be renewed and a woman was elected for the first time in the history of the prestigious institution. Alicia Dickenstein has been IMU vice-president (2015-2018)  and is CWM Ambassador.

The CWM called for proposals for initiatives to support women in mathematics taking place from February 2024 to February 2025. The CWM 2024 call received 39 applications, of which CWM will support 10. Some of the selected projects aim at supporting continental networks for women in mathematics, such as the Asian-Oceanian Women in Mathematics (AOWM) Workshop in New Zealand and the series of activities organised by the Gender and Diversity Commission of UMALCA (CGD-Umalca) within the Latin American and Caribbean Congress of Mathematics. CWM is supporting networking and visibility activities for women in mathematics in Brazil, India, Malawi, Mexico, Namibia and Senegal, and two research workshops geared towards establishing research networks for women, in Burundi and Uganda. Depending on the nature of the project, CWM funding goes to infrastructure, travel expenses and accommodation support for women participants from developing countries.

More details on each of these projects can be found here.

The Association for Women in Mathematics and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics are pleased to announce that Professor Sunčica Čanić will be the 2024 Sonia Kovalevsky Lecturer. The Kovalevsky Lecture will be delivered at the 2024 SIAM Annual Meeting taking place in Spokane, WA,  July 8 -12, 2024. More information here.

This year, the Crafoord Prize in Mathematics is awarded to Claire Voisin, Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche, CNRS, France “for outstanding contributions to complex and algebraic geometry, including Hodge theory, algebraic cycles, and hyperkähler geometry”.

Sylvia Serfaty, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, will receive the 2024 Maryam Mirzakhani Prize in Mathematics.

Serfaty has made impactful contributions to the study of nonlinear partial differential equations, variational problems, and statistical physics problems. More precisely, Serfaty has studied problems from condensed matter physics, in particular superconductivity and micromagnetics, Coulomb systems, and vortex dynamics. She has developed fundamentally new techniques for analyzing the dynamics of interacting particles or defects and the spatial patterns they form. Her creative approach and capacity to work on a diverse but coherent family of problems shed new light on the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity and the statistical mechanics of Coulomb-type systems.

The workshop "Diversity in Finite Fields and Coding Theory" will take place on July 07 - 12, 2024, at IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It will bring together women and underrepresented minorities in mathematics to carry out joint research on Finite Fields and Coding Theory. The workshop can accept only a limited number of participants in order to ensure a productive experience in the research groups. Therefore, there will be a selection process for participants. The target audience is composed of PhD students, postdocs and researchers from underrepresented groups. Applications are now open until January 15, 2024. More information can be found here.
