This is part of the activities of the Project POTIMATICAS, where the high school students should elaborate videos of two sorts: (1) short videos with interesting mathematical problems; and (2) longer videos bringing the life and achievements of female Mathematicians.
The Catalan Mathematical Society is organizing a session to celebrate Women Day in Mathematics.
There will be two activities in this session. The first one will be Guadalupe Gómez's talk, "Florence Nightingale: A Role Model in the Twenty-First Century," in which she will discuss the significance of this legendary figure.

11:00 am "Women celebrities in Math" - a mathematical fair by undergraduate students
12:00 m "Women in Science in Africa: a silent revolution" - movie projection
The event "Celebrating Women in Mathematics in Graz" will take place on May 19, 2022, at 3:15 p.m. in room HS 12.01, on the campus of the University of Graz (Universitätsstraße 2-4).
The afternoon program includes seminars and documentary film screenings.

The 2º Encontro Mulheres Matemáticas do IMPA is organized by the students of IMPA with the aim of start a conversation about the academic life for women.
This second edition will discuss the routine of researcher women and the steps from the bachelor to the postdoc.
A discussion will be held about the gender gap in mathematics and will offer an opportunity to exchange experiences among the participants.
When studying mathematics was associated to teaching, it was a female-dominated degree. The situation changed drastically in 2012, coinciding with a bigger demand for technology and business jobs. The article ¿Por qué se han frenado las vocaciones matemáticas de las adolescentes? contributes to analyze the possible causes of this through many different testimonies.
Le mercredi 12 mai 2021, les associations femmes et mathématiques et Animath et la Fondation Blaise Pascal organisent une session en ligne intitulée "filles, maths et informatique: une équation lumineuse" destinée aux filles scolarisées en Seconde et en Première

On May 12th 2021, a tribute to Alicia Boole will be made public on our website.
Following the same line of ideas underlying our tribute to Maryam Mirzakhani for the first edition, we offer an artistic form intertwining a dozen contributions : dance, reading performance, story-telling, object animation... and some mathematical context of course (in french). Each contribution starts from a key-word linked to the story of Alicia Boole. As a whole they create some kind of Chinese portrait.
This year Deakin University will be celebrating the Women in Mathematics Day to promote the collaboration of female mathematicians and to celebrate women`s achievements in mathematics.
There will be presentations from female academics, industry professionals, and post-graduate students about their research areas and experience of working in mathematics. A movie about the lives of women working in science, including the challenges they face, will also be shown.
Organisers: K. Morgan, Su Chan, L. Vogelsang.
