Entering the male dominated field of mathematics can be tough for women, who often encounter specific obstacles. The particular situation of women in mathematics is reflected in a series of exhibitions, talks and discussions.
The video "Words of women in mathematics in the time of Corona"
https://www.wpi-aimr.tohoku.ac.jp/WWMTC/
collects words of some 86 women in mathematics from 37 countries telling us about their experience in the time of Corona in 25 different languages.
It will be launched on May 12th, date of the anniversary of Maryam Mirzakhani's birthday, which celebrates worldwide women in mathematics (https://may12.womeninmaths.org/)
This project emanates from a group of mathematicians, Sonia Mahmoudi (Tohoku U., Japan), Claudia Malvenuto (U. di Roma La Sapienza, Italy), Sylvie Paycha (U. Potsdam, Germany) and Eriko Shinkawa (Tohoku U., Japan) after informal conversations about their experiences during the pandemic. This video is a follow up of the film "Faces of Women in Mathematics” (https://vimeo.com/259039018) with whose authors, the mathematician Eugenie Hunsicker (U. of Loughborough, England) and the filmmaker Irina Linke, we have brought this new project to life.

A journey through the natural sciences with female PhD students
For this third edition (this time online) at the University of Potsdam of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2021 seven female PhD students of the Faculty of Science and the Digital Engineering Faculty will take us on a journey through their discipline and career, might it be including chemistry, data science, environmental science, nutritional science and mathematics. They will provide an insight into their research work in the form of 10-minute presentations in either English or German.
Detailed information on the event
Abstracts of the presentations
Videos of the presentations:
Sany Chea (Chemie): Zucker zur Behandlung von COVID-19
Alyna Lange (Chemie): Ionic Liquid based 3D printable Electrolytes for Energy Applications
Lisa Luna (Umweltwissenschaften): Today's forecast: rainy with a 40% chance of landslides
Elisabeth Schönfeldt (Geowissenschaften): Fließen, Flutschen, Fallen - Warum sich Hänge bewegen
Tanja Mutschler (Physik): Impulsvortrag
At the international day of Women in Science this interdisciplinary event shall increase the visibility of women in the sciences. To this end, students will introduce important female scientists and highlight their contributions to their field in short talks of 15 minutes. mehr erfahren
The exhibition "Women of mathematics thoughout Europe. A gallery of portraits" is displayed in various parts of the world and offers a glimpse into the world of mathematics through photographs by Noel Tavia Matoff and excerpts of interviews by Sylvie Paycha und Sara Azzali of thirteen women mathematicians throughout Europe.
