A crucial component of the Gender Gap in Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Sciences project is the compilation of self-reported data from scientists via a global, multilingual, and multidisciplinary survey. This survey, which targets 45,000 respondents in multiple languages, will explore comparisons across regions, countries, disciplines, level of development of the country, sector of employment and age.

The survey is now open to respondents from all over the world and is available in English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and Arabic. If you have studied or worked in mathematical, computing or natural sciences, or in the history and philosophy of science and technology, we encourage you to visit the link below to complete the survey and to also share this link with your colleagues:

GLOBAL SURVEY

The survey will remain open until December 31, 2018.

Remember Maryam Mirzakhani is an exhibition with 18 original posters. Institutions interested in hosting the exhibition can consult the rules of use and contact CWM at exhibition-cwm@mathunion.org. The exhibition opened at the (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.

Nalini Joshi AO, Chair of Applied Mathematics at the University of Sydney, was awarded the University of Technology Sydney Eureka Prize for Outstanding Mentor of Young Researchers. She has mentored over thirty researchers throughout her life and was an initiator of the Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) Program.

Nalini Joshi AO is the vice president of the IMU.

Giulia Di Nunno, Professor of stochastic analysis at the University of Oslo, was awarded the ICIAM Su Buchin Prize for 2019 for her long-lasting record actively and efficiently encouraging top-level mathematical research and education in developing African countries.

The prize was created and first awarded in 2007.

Brent Pym (McGill University) and Chelsea Walton (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) were awarded the 2018 André Lichnerowicz Prize for Poisson Geometry on July 16, 2018, at the Fields Institute in Toronto.

Established in 2008 and awarded every two years, this prize recognizes significant contributions to Poisson geometry by researchers who obtained their PhD at most 8 years prior.

Chelsea Walton is the first woman to win the André Lichnerowicz Award.
