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.
CWM invites proposals for funding of up to €3000 for activities or initiatives taking place in 2019, aimed at either (a) establishing or supporting networks for women in mathematics, preferably at the continental or regional level, and with priority given to networks in developing or emerging countries or (b) organizing a mathematical school open to all with all women speakers and mainly women organizers. The applications should be sent to applications-for-cwm@mathunion.org before December 15 2018. For more details see here.

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.
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.
Shown as a World Premiere at (WM)^2, the World Meeting for Women in Mathematics on July 31 2018. A 13mn film with Neela Nataraj (India), Aminatou Pecha (Cameroon) and Carolina Araujo (Brazil). Created by the IMU Committee for Women in Mathematics, filmed and edited by Micro-Documentaries, made possible by a grant from the Simons Foundation.
The Sylvester Medal 2018 is awarded to Professor Dusa McDuff FRS for leading the development of the new field of symplectic geometry and topology. Her outstanding work includes many fundamental theorems and she has been inspirational for generations of mathematicians.
