International Women in Mathematics Days at the Uni Würzburg: Visit of Prof. Dr. Andrea Blunk | 12–13 May 2025

To celebrate May 12 – International Women in Mathematics Day, the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Würzburg is delighted to welcome Prof. Dr. Andrea Blunk, Professor of Mathematics and Gender Studies at the University of Hamburg. Prof. Blunk's interdisciplinary work connects mathematics, its disciplinary culture, and gender studies.


As part of her visit, we are pleased to host the following two events, open to students and researchers:

Filles et mathématiques : lutter contre les stéréotypes, ouvrir le champ des possibles/ Girls and mathematics: fighting stereotypes, opening up the field of possibilities

Le rapport établit la manière dont, en France, la part des filles dans les études scientifiques décroit  à mesure de leur avancée dans la scolarité. Elle pointe l’effet majeur des stéréotypes de genre qui engendrent manque de confiance en soi et sentiment de ne pas être à sa place.
