Dear all,
The proposed new Scientific Committee, consisting of twelve leading
women mathematicians, has now been established jointly by the European
Mathematical Society (EMS) and EWM. The membership of the committee
is as follows:
Viviane Baladi (ENS, Paris, France)
Eva Bayer-Fluckiger (Lausanne, Switzerland)
Christine Bernardi (Paris VI, France)
Christine Bessenrodt (Hannover, Germany)
Antonella Grassi (U Penn, USA)
Ursula Hamenstaedt (Bonn, Germany)
Dusa McDuff (Stony Brook, USA)
Ragni Piene (Oslo, Norway)
Vera Sos (Renyi Institute, Budapest, Hungary)
Ulrike Tillmann (Oxford, UK), chair
Nina Uraltseva (St Petersburg, Russia)
Michele Vergne (Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, France)
The committee’s remit is to provide advice to the EMS and EWM
on scientific questions involving women and mathematics, such as
suggesting scientific topics and speakers for the biennial EWM
meetings. Its members are currently being asked for advice about the
next EWM general meeting, which will be held in Novi Sad in
August 2009, and the 3rd Nordic summer school (June 2009).
With best wishes,
Sylvie Paycha (Chair, EMS Committee for Women and Mathematics)
Frances Kirwan (Convenor, EWM)
Dear all,
Here is a modified announcement taking into account some recent
information we got from the European Congress of Mathematics organizing committee.
Best wishes,
Sylvie
Joint EWM/EMS Worskhop
Amsterdam, July 13th 2008
This one day workshop (on sunday afternoon, 2pm-6pm), organized under the auspices of the European Mathematical Society and European Women in Mathematics, aims at introducing the audience to the
topics of the two main women speakers at the European Congress of Mathematics, Christine Bernardi and Matilde Marcolli. Its program will be
organized around three to four introductory talks on their research areas,
and will end with a social gathering and informal discussions. The
speakers at the workshop
will include Christine Bernardi and Alina Vdovina..
We encourage young women mathematicians to attend this one day
meeting before the Congress itself. It will provide an opportunity to get
acquainted with two areas of research represented by two of the main
speakers at the ECM, namely applied mathematics (spectral and variational
problems) on the one hand and applications of
noncommutative geometry (e.g. to quantum field theory and number theory) on
the other hand.
We draw your attention to the fact that early registration at the ECM
brings down the costs (”earlybird” fee) and that you can ask for help
from the ECM to find accomodation via the university if you apply before
January 1.
We encourage those of you who can benefit from a grant delivered by the
EMC, to apply for a “one day” extension to be able to attend this meeting.
Hoping to see you in Amsterdam,
Best wishes,
Colette Guillopé (Femmes et Mathématiques), Frances Kirwan (convenor of EWM), Sylvie Paycha (Coordinator of the EMS committee for women in mathematics)
