Forthcoming Women in Mathematics Day

The next Women in Mathematics Day will be a two-day event on 18-19th April and will be held at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge. Sessions will include talks by women mathematicians at different career stages and a poster session.

The organisers would be very grateful if all members could encourage women mathematicians, particularly students (including final year undergraduates) and those at an early stage of their career, to attend this meeting. 

Any postgraduates, postdocs or research assistants interested in giving a talk or presenting a poster at the meeting should contact Beatrice Pelloni (b.pelloni@reading.ac.uk) by 15th  March 2013

The event provides an opportunity to meet and talk with women who are active and successful in mathematics. While this is an occasion particularly for women active in mathematics to get together, men are certainly not excluded from this event.

  • To register please visit the INI website by 1st April 2013.  (Late registrations for places may be still be accepted, subject to availability.)
  • The day is free for students and £5 for all others, payable on the day.
  • Limited funds are available to help with the travel costs of students attending the event. (Please note that all available travel grants for 2013 have now been allocated.)
  • There will be a dinner on the evening of 18th April at Murray Edwards College, funded by the Cambridge mathematics departments and lunch on both days will be funded by the LMS. Bed and breakfast accommodation will be available at Murray Edwards College at a cost of £69.75 per night (or a reduced rate for those willing to share). The INI will book accommodation if requested on the registration form.

 

The Women in Mathematics Day is kindly supported by the Clay Mathematics Institute, the Isaac Newton Institute, the DPMMS and the DAMTP at Cambridge.
