PhD students in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematical statistics, mathematics education or history of mathematics from the Nordic countries are invited to participate in a summer school in mathematics organized by the European Women in Mathematics (EWM).
The summer school is especially aimed at encouraging female students and researchers in their early careers, but we also warmly welcome male students. Students outside the Nordic countries, post-docs or advanced undergraduates thinking of PhD studies are also invited to attend.
The program of the meeting is broad and will be of interest for students working in different research areas. Mini-courses will give an introduction to and an overview over three chosen topics of general interest from different areas of mathematics. They will be aimed at all students with a general mathematical background, yet come to touch questions of current research. Internationally recognized mathematicians will give the mini-courses and special lectures. The participants are invited to contribute to workshops and seminars with their own presentations.
The summer school is partially funded by the Finnish Cultural Foundation, Otto A. Malm Foundation, Nokia, Oskar Öflund Foundation, Finnish Centre of Exellence in Analysis and Dynamics Research, and the Turku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS), Finland, in an attempt to encourage greater participation of women in mathematical research.
Besides the scientific program there will be an opportunity to meet professional mathematicians for discussions. Several social events and one excursion will be held. The summer school starts at 10 am on Monday, June 22, and ends at 3 pm on Saturday, June 27.
Scientific program A number of well-established mathematicians from different countries will be main speakers in the summer school. They will give three mini-courses and a few more specialized 60-minutes lectures. Ample time will be allowed for participants to share ideas and make new contacts, and informal sessions facilitating such interaction will be encouraged. The scientific program is planned in collaboration with the Scientific Committee of the European Mathematical Society (EMS).
Invited speakers so far include (preliminary, changes possible): NUMBER THEORY, ALGEBRA AND APPLICATIONS Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland John Coates, University of Cambridge, UK Kaisa Nyberg, Helsinki University of Technology, Nokia Research Centre, Finland Sujatha Ramadorai, Chennai Mathematical Institute, India ANALYSIS (more lecturers to be announced) Sirkka-Liisa Eriksson, Tampere University of Technology, Finland Maarit Järvenpää, University of Jyväskylä, Finland Ritva Hurri-Syrjänen, University of Helsinki, Finland Stefanie Petermichl, Universite de Bordeaux 1, France

This is an important part of the summer school providing a chance for students to show and exchange ideas in mathematics. Depending on the number of interested participants, we may have to make a selection based on a reviewing process. Accommodation We have a preliminary booking for a few low budget beds and rooms at the university guesthouse Villa Hortus and at the B&B Tuure. There are also many other options you can choose from.
