Women and Mathematics

The Committee has the purpose to work as a fact-finding unit exposing the problems and supporting the recognition of achievements of women in mathematics. It is directed to take such actions as it deems appropriate to encourage more women to study mathematics at school level, at university level, and at research level; and to support women mathematicians in the academic profession. For example, this may involve the holding of special meetings, competitions, publicity, summer schools, and the organization of mentor rings directed to women interested in pursuing careers in mathematics, as well as actively supporting such activities initiated by other mathematical societies such as European Women in Mathematics and Association femmes et math, and closely liaising with them.

Plenary talks from the 14th general meeting of the European Women in Mathematics, which took place in Novi Sad, Serbia, August 25-28, 2009 have been posted here .

It is directed to work towards the goal of achieving a sound (arguably equal) balance between the numbers of men and women involved in mathematics at all levels, with mutual respect towards each other as mathematicians, and with equal career opportunities in mathematics.
