Celebrating Women in Mathematics at IM-UFRJ is a workshop that aims to bring together women researchers in mathematics. The event is part of the celebration of the women in mathematics day, May 12, which also is the birthday of Mariam Mirzakhani, the only Fields Medal woman in the history of this prize.The second edition of this event will take place remotely, via video conference platform, from May 24 to May 28 of 2021. The main goal of the event is to give visibility to women working as researchers in mathematics.
Indian Institute of Information Technology Nagpur is organising an International Webinar in honour of Maryam Mirzakhani (May 12, 1977 – July 14, 2017), the only woman to win a Fields medal for her outstanding contributions to “the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces”.
