The next Women in Mathematics Day will be a two-day event on 18th-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. Some of the talks given at the event will be streamed live on the INI's website on 18th and 19th April, you can watch these here.
Women in Mathematics Day is an annual event and members are asked to encourage women mathematicians, particularly students (including final year undergraduates) and those at an early stage of their career, to attend this meeting. Postgraduates, postdocs and research assistants are invited to participate in the event by giving a talk or presenting a poster.
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.
- Please note that registration for the event is now closed. You can still follow the live streaming of some of the talks on the INI's website.
- 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 2013 is kindly supported by the Clay Mathematics Institute, the Isaac Newton Institute, the DPMMS and the DAMTP at Cambridge.
