24th March 2021, University of Plymouth
LMS Women in Mathematics Day 2021
The event is sponsored by the London Mathematical Society, the Royal Statistical Society South West Local Group, and the University of Plymouth.
This one-day virtual event aims to promote interest and careers in mathematics for women. It will be open to mathematicians of all genders and from all backgrounds. The event should be of interest also to final year undergraduate students.
Besides talks given by female speakers from a range of career stages across mathematics and statistics, from academia and industry, the meeting features a panel discussion and a poster competition open to women mathematicians at undergraduate and graduate levels as well as early career researchers.
Please feel free to distribute the notice of this event to your network — a poster for the event can be found here.
This event is sponsored by the London Mathematical Society (LMS), the RSS South West Local Group, and the University of Plymouth.
