2022, University of Reading
This event was organised to coincide with the International Celebration of Women in Mathematics, and was supported by the London Mathematical Society, the Mathematics of Planet Earth CDT and the University of Reading.
See details on the event homepage.
2021, University of Strathclyde
This event was run online and hosted by the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences. The programme featured 5 talks by female researchers at different stages of their careers, from different walks of maths, science and technology. The speakers included Claire Miller (Professor of Statistics, University of Glasgow), Paola Iannone (Senior Lecturer in Mathematics Education, University of Loughborough), Laura Ciobanu (Associate Professor in Heriot Watt University specialising in group theory), Jill Miscandlon (Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Advanced Forming Research Centre, University of Strathclyde) and Tiffany Wood (Senior Knowledge Transfer Fellow, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh). The speakers discussed their career trajectories, the opportunities and the challenges, their research programmes and outreach activities. The talks gave a holistic view of careers in mathematics, in academia and outside academia, particularly at the interface of mathematics, industrial research and knowledge exchange.
2019, Queen Mary University of London
This event, titled 'Where Could Maths Take You?' featured five talks from academic researchers and four on careers in industry. There was also a group activity where attendees discussed topics including challenges for women in maths and how to tackle them, and a networking lunch.
