Funding mechanisms to support mathematical sciences vary widely across the world. Here is some information about funding that relates particularly to women. Information about grants that relate particularly to CWM and the IMU may be found here. 

CWM sponsors a number of events and activities with the aim of encouraging women in mathematics, with priority given to  developing or emerging countries. Our main focus has been aimed at establishing or supporting networks at the continental or regional level. Other events, workshops and projects have also been supported.

Associations in individual countries with a regional impact have also been sponsored.

In 2015, CWM sponsored activities in Kenya (Africa) and Brazil (Latin America).  

The 2016 CWM sponsored events took place in Colombia (Latin America), India, Indonesia (S. and E. Asia), Kazakhstan (Central Asia), Mexico (Latin America), Senegal (West Africa), Tunisia (North  Africa). For a brief report on these activities, see here.

The sponsored events after the 2017 CWM  call took place in Brazil, Canada, Chile, India, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, Tunisia, South Africa and Vietnam.  See report here.

The issue of gender in mathematical education is a huge subject  in its own right, which we cannot fully do justice to here.  Here are a selection of organizations, links to further resources, initiatives and articles.

Here are some general books about women and mathematics, listed in order of publication date. More books about lives of women mathematicians can be found here.

Recently, many publications and websites have carried interesting interviews with female mathematicians, among them the AWM and EWM newsletters. On this page you will find some general sources for interviews and also some interviews with individuals. Please let us know of other interviews which might be included.
