Date: Monday 13 May 2024
Location: Universiteit Gent, Campus Sterre, Building S8, Lecture room 3.2 (third floor)
Description of the event
The theme of our Women in Mathematics Workshop centers around “Celebrating Diversity and Advancing Mathematical Frontiers.” Through this theme, we aim to spotlight the great contributions of women mathematicians across a spectrum of specialized fields, including partial differential equations, logic, combinatorics, analysis, graph theory, statistics, algebra, and geometry. By showcasing the remarkable diversity of talent among female researchers, we seek to inspire, empower, and foster a sense of inclusivity within the mathematical community.
The primary objective of our workshop is to provide a platform for accomplished female mathematicians to share their expertise and insights with a diverse audience. Through a series of 8 talks, we aim to make the cutting-edge research in various mathematical disciplines, accessible to all attendees, regardless of their specific areas of specialisation and of the stage of their careers. Additionally, there will be a talk by Prof. Colette Guillopé addressing the gender gap in STEM sciences.
This workshop continues the sequence of events organised by the Ghent Analysis & PDE Center in support of Women in Mathematics. See, for example, the exhibition “Women in Mathematics from around the world” and the corresponding lecture by Prof Sylvie Paycha (Potsdam University), that took place during our Summer School “Modern Problems in PDEs and applications” in September 2023.
See also our dedicated volume “Women in Analysis & PDE”.
