An article by Marie-Françoise Roy, former chair of CWM, entitled "Building a Worldwide Community of Women Mathematicians", describes the World Meeting for Women in Mathematics (WM)² as one of the main initiatives of CWM. The article has been published in Notices of AMS (March 2023), and can be found here.

IMU CWM lead the project "A Global Approach to the Gender Gap in Mathematical and Natural Sciences:
How to Measure It, How to Reduce It ?" funded by the International Science Council (ISC), in cooperation with IUPAC.

The project website, with a summary, up to date news and information, is here.

The  Gender Gap in Science Book can be found here. It can also be ordered as a printed book through many retailers worldwide.

CWM printers and flyers are available. Here are low resolution versions which you can use for screen display: Poster Flyer

The flyer is two sided and is designed to be folded along vertical lines into three.

 

A 20-min film created by the IMU Committee for Women in Mathematics, filmed and edited by Micro-Documentaries, made possible by a grant from the Simons Foundation.  It is in particular featured on the Scientific American Roots of Unity Blog.

Remember Maryam Mirzakhani (RMM) 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.

Susan Scott co-recipient of the 2020 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science

Professor Susan Scott of the Australian National University was one of four scientists — and the first female physicist — to be awarded Australia's top science prize for their pioneering work discovering gravitational waves opening a new window to the universe.

She shares the $250,000 Prime Minister's Prize for Science with David Blair, of the University of Western Australia (UWA), Peter Veitch of the University of Adelaide, and David McClelland of the Australian National University.
