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

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.

Its first version was premiered at the first World Meeting for Women in Mathematics (WM)².

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) announced its new class of more than 200 members for the year 2019, amongst them Sylvia Serfaty, a professor in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Sylvia Serfaty's work focusses on the calculus of variations, nonlinear partial differential equations, and mathematical physics. 

Alessandra Celletti (University of Rome Tor Vergata), Chair of the Women in Mathematics Committee of the European Mathematical Society (EMS),  has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Italian Space Agency (ASI).

The Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD) is still accepting applications for PhD Fellowships and Early Career Fellowships.
