2023

In 2023, CWM call received 48 applications, of which CWM decided to support 11. Some of the selected projects aim at supporting continental networks for women in mathematics, such as the 1st meeting of the Asian and Oceanian Women in Mathematics (AOWM) in India, the 3rd Meeting for Latin American Women in Mathematics in Colombia, the 3rd Southeast Asian Women Mathematicians Meeting in Indonesia, and a network meeting organised by the Commission of African Women in Mathematics of the African Mathematical Union (AMU-CAWM) in Morocco. CWM is also supporting networking activities for women in mathematics in Cuba, India, Nepal and Nigeria, the global May 12 initiative, and two research workshops geared towards establishing research networks for women, in Uganda and Uruguay. Depending on the nature of the project, CWM funding goes to infrastructure, webpage’s creation and update, travel expenses and accommodation support for participants from developing countries.
