Interview with CWM member Catherine Greenhill, from Australia; CWM Call for 2025 is open; Other News and Announcements: Awards and reports of some of the CWM funded activities; Article "Inception of Asian-Oceanian Women in Mathematics (AOWM) and Its Progress in Last One and Half Years" by Sanoli Gun and Kyewon Koh Park
The Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science (SCGES) was established by 9 International Unions, including IMU and has already 21 partners. Third annual report (2022-2023) available here. The purpose of SGES is to circulate information among its partners, and promote cooperation on among them, in particular by supporting women and girls’ equal access to science education and fostering equal opportunity and treatment for females in their careers.
The CWM 2023 call for Networks, Workshops and other initiatives is opened till 23 December, 2022.
There will be no other CWM call for applications regarding activities in 2022.
