The 2020 Emma Castelnuovo Award was given during the ICME 14 in Shanghai to NCTM – the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (USA and Canada). The congress was delayed, and then took place as a Hybrid Conference from July 11 to 18, 2021. The Award Lecture was held by Trena L. Wilkerson.

The list of the mathematicians who will give the invited lectures during the ICM2022 program was officially published. CWM is happy to report that the proportion of women (plenary and sectional) lecturers has reached a little more than 20%. For the previous ICMs (Rio 2018, Seoul 2014, Hyderabad 2010) the proportion had stabilized around 15 %, after a period of growth starting in the 1990s.
