The 13th general meeting of European Women in Mathematics, EWM 2007, took place during 3-6 September at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge, England. The short report about the meeting and Minutes of the General Assembly are available at EWM web site.

With permision of the Standing Committee of EMW we give here a part of a short report:
An impressive number of 85 women from 25 countries attended the meeting.

Talks at EWM07 covered a wide range of mathematical areas, and all the speakers were encouraged to spend a few minutes introducing themselves and their background. We could hear some enthusiastic presentations on, for example, sympletic geometry and algebraic number theory.

The invited speakers included:

Ana Achucarro, Lorenz Institute, Leiden: Theoretical Physics;

Toni Beardon, OBE Cambridge, UK: Mathematics Education;

Natalia Berloff, DAMTP, Cambridge UK: Quantum Fluids;

Lenore Blum, Carnegie Mellon University, USA: Theoretical Computer Science;

Dusa McDuff, Stonybrook, USA: Symplectic Geometry;

Cheryl Praeger, University of Western Australia: Group Theory;

Vera Sos, Budapest: Combinatorics;

Ramdorai Sujatha, Tata Institute, Mumbai: Number Theory.

 

 

Plus Magazine has published an audio report on EWM Cambridge meeting in Plus Podcasts - Maths on the move

Marianne Freiberger, who is the author of the report , recorded the atmosphere at some of the EWM meetings, and made interviews with two leading mathematicians, Caroline Series and Cheryl Praeger.
