Every year in May, the Committee of Women in Mathematics (CWM) celebrates Women in Mathematics Day, which is a delightful occasion. The day is celebrated globally with the aim of inspiring women to recognize and commemorate their accomplishments in the field of mathematics. The ultimate goal is to promote an environment that is open, welcoming, and inclusive for everyone.
This special day is dedicated to honoring Maryam Mirzakhani, who was born on 12th May 1977 and became the first woman to receive the Fields Medal, the highest recognition in mathematics. The conference will feature distinguished female mathematicians presenting cutting-edge research in fields such as discrete geometry, combinatorics, high-dimensional probability, and AI applications. Attendees can look forward to engaging discussions, knowledge exchange, and networking opportunities designed to empower the next generation of mathematicians.
Under Dr. Tarsissi’s leadership, this event will highlight the vital role of women in advancing mathematical sciences while addressing challenges and opportunities in the field, making it a landmark occasion for celebrating excellence and diversity in mathematics. Dr Lama Tarsissi, Associate Professor in Mathematics at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi and CWM Ambassador in Lebanon and in the UAE, is organizing the sixth edition of International Women in Mathematics Day 2026.
