ICWM 2010: Second Announcement
International Conference of Women Mathematicians Hyderabad August 17-18 2010 http://www.icm2010.org.in/icwm2010.php
ICWM 2010 will take place at the University of Hyderabad over the two days immediately before the International Congress in 2010. The meeting is aimed principally at women mathematicians attending the ICM (though men are also very welcome to attend), and in particular at young women mathematicians and women from Asia and from developing countries.The talks will be colloquium style lectures aimed at a general mathematical audience, and it is hoped that participants will be provided with an opportunity to meet other women mathematicians about to take part in the ICM and to find out about some of the areas of research to be covered at the ICM.
There will be nine lectures of 45 minutes each from the following speakers:
Julie Deserti (Paris, France)
Frances Kirwan (Oxford, UK)
Maryam Mirzakhani (Stanford, USA)
Neela Nataraj (IIT Bombay, India)
Raman Parimala (Atlanta, USA)
Mythily Ramaswamy (TIFR Bangalore, India)
Maria Saprykina (KTH Stockholm, Sweden)
Nathalie Wahl (Copenhagen, Denmark)
Di Yana (CAS Beijing, China)
In addition to the lectures there will be a discussion forum and a conference dinner on the evening of 17 August.
Registration will begin on 1 January 2010. More information (on the venue, programme, accommodation etc) will be available on the website at
http://www.icm2010.org.in/icwm2010.php
by then.
ICWM 2010 is being organised with the support of European Women in Mathematics (http://www.math.helsinki.fi/EWM/), the European Mathematical Society (http://www.emis.de/) and the Association for Women in Mathematics (http://www.awm-math.org/). Financial support is being provided by the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM), India and by Schlumberger. There will be some funding available to support the travel and accommodation costs of women participants from Asian and developing countries, and women from these countries are encouraged to apply to the local organizing committee.
