The next Women in Mathematics Day will be held on Friday 24 April at the London Mathematical Society’s De Morgan House. Sessions will include talks and posters by practising women mathematicians in a variety of appointments and at different career stages.

The meeting is open to all but of particular interest to women mathematicians at an early stage in their career, and students (including final year undergraduates). It is hoped that an opportunity to see women who are active and successful in mathematics, and to meet them informally, will be beneficial. Feedback from previous meetings has shown that participants find this useful. While this is an occasion particularly for women active in mathematics to get together, men are certainly not excluded.
