This hybrid event (online and in-person) is the 10th SCGES webinar and is the participation of the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science to the Global Women’s Breakfast on February 27th, 2024, at Institut Henri Poincaré (IHP), Paris.
The presentations concentrate on two specific challenges:
How to contribute popularising mathematics in a museum among the youth of all origins and gender?
How to write an astronomy book for men and women and why is it important?
The CWM 2024 call for activities or initiatives to support women in mathematics taking place from February 2024 to February 2025 is now open. The CWM funding grant does not exceed €3000, and the deadline for applying via the IMU dedicated webform is January 05, 2024. There will be no other CWM call for applications regarding activities in 2024.
For complete information, please read the call here.
The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) has named twelve mathematicians as 2024 AWM Fellows, including CWM member Matilde Lalín. More details, including the citations for the 2024 AWM Fellows can be found here.
Congratulations to Matilde and all new AWM Fellows!
The Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science (SCGES) is an independent committee formed in 2020 by several international scientific organizations, including the IMU, to promote gender equality in science. The SCGES third Annual Report has just been published and can be found here on the SCGES website.
This annual conference aims to bring together women mathematicians, women students, college and university teachers, and novice researchers working at the frontiers of mathematics to interact and exchange mathematical ideas and share their experiences with their colleagues, both in groups or individually.
(1776 - 1831)
French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher.
Largely self-taught in mathematics.
Correspondence with Lagrange and Gauss using the male pseudonym Antoine-Auguste Le Blanc.
Research interests: elasticity, number theory (Fermat's Last Theorem).
Honour:
Sophie Germain Prize
Since 2007, more than 100 Sage Days have been organized around the world. During these days, participants discover the SageMath software, develop their programming skills and contribute to the development of the software. Women in Sage days have already been organized in seven different countries. The upcoming Women in Sage - Uganda will take place at Makerere University, Uganda, on September 04-08, and is supported by CWM.
