Conference

Queensland University Technology, The University of Queensland and Griffith University invite you to our jointly organised Brisbane event for International Women in Mathematics Day:

Date: Thursday 14 May 2026
Time: 9:00am - 1.30pm
Venue: The Ship Inn, South Bank

Purpose: The event aims to:

The initiative, whose title can be translated as “In Marjorie Rice’s Footsteps: Let’s Play with Tessellations,” will be held at the literary café Binario49 in Reggio Emilia. It is open to anyone interested and is supported by the local university and the city council.

The event takes the form of a journey that begins with the remarkable figure of Marjorie Rice and her work on tessellations, moves through applications in engineering, industry, and mathematics education, and concludes with playful, interactive activities centered on tessellations.

Le 12 Mai c'est la journée internationale des femmes en mathématiques ! À cette occasion nous recevons Agnès Rigny qui nous présentera des trajectoires de femmes mathématicienne.
 

Force est de constater que les femmes sont minoritaires en mathématiques et en informatique, depuis toujours et encore aujourd’hui. C’est d’ailleurs un sujet de préoccupation pour le gouvernement actuel, qui a lancé au début de l’été 2025 le plan « filles et maths ».

Or, de tout temps, il y a eu des femmes qui ont fait des mathématiques.

It is rganized by students from the Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics to commemorate Women in Mathematics Day and promote a dialog about the reality of academic careers for women. Everyone is welcome! There will be academic presentations, an interactive talk between some mathematicians with participation of the public and a session of short talks where women can choose to tell us about their researches or experiences. The format will be hybrid and there is a registration on the website.

Sara Garbarino and Silvia Villa will deliver two dissemination talks ("Come la matematica aiuta a capire l’invisibile: modelli matematici per il corpo umano" and "La matematica dell'intelligenza artificiale"). MS students in Mathematics will present mathematical puzzles and games. "Matematiche: femminile plurale" will display voices of young female mathematicians. The event will end with a final "Guess Who" game, dedicated to famous female scientists.

The spring meeting of Institut de Recherche Mathématique de Rennes (IRMAR) is taking place this year on May 12, in the Maryam Mirzaphani's amphitheater !

The programme of the lectures will be communicated later.

The meeting will end with the collective screening of the film "Je suis Sophie Germain/I am Sophie Germain" associated to a short presentation of the May 12 initiative. 

EWMA is pleased to welcome participants to “Research Schools in Mathematics in Egypt: Collaboration and Future Perspectives”, hosted on May 9, 2026 at Nile University in celebration of the International Day of Women in Mathematics. In collaboration with Nile University, we are honored to feature two distinguished invited speakers: Prof. Ahmad El-Guindy, presenting “Interactions between the What, Where and How of solving certain equations in Number Theory,” and Dr. Sahar Selim, whose work bridges AI and medical imaging with strong real-world impact.

This conference brings together researchers and students for 26 hours of mathematical talks and discussions on 11 and 12 May 2026. The event highlights current advances across pure and applied mathematics, featuring contributions from all over Switzerland. The occasion marks the day for celebration of women in mathematics on 12 May the birthday of Maryam Mirzakhani.
