Celebrating Women in Mathematical Sciences

Every year on May 12, mathematicians across the world celebrate the International Women in Math Day. To mark this date and showcase the excellent work done in all areas of theoretical and applied mathematics, Department of Mathematical Sciences at KU and DTU Compute will hold an international conference celebrating women in mathematical sciences from May 16 to May 17, 2024 in Copenhagen.

The conference is open to all staff and students across Denmark and neighbouring Universities and we encourage everyone to participate. There will be four plenary talks in pure mathematics, statistics, and actuarial science, and a series of shorter contributed talks. We will also organize networking activities as well as a panel discussion on life in academia.

Plenary speakers

Linda Sandris Larsen, Copenhagen Business School

Sandra Pott, Lund University

Birgit Richter, Universität Hamburg

Anne Marie Svane, Aalborg Universitet
