The 2026 General Meeting of European Women in Mathematics (EWM) will take place at the Mathematics Institute of the University of Warwick 31/8 - 4/9 2026. Save the date!
EWM is the main professional society for women in mathematics across Europe. The meeting is open to mathematicians of all genders and career stages.
This is the 20th EWM General Meeting, and we will celebrate EWM's 40th anniversary.

Plus more to come...
We will have the following mini-symposia (up to six short talks). Talks in mini-symposia are by invitation of the session organisers.
New developments on quaternions and beyond (Organised by Anna Gori, Jasna Prezelj, Giulia Sarfatti)
New results in Control and Stability Theory for Problems arising in Real Applications (Organised by Genni Fragnelli and Cristina Urbani)
Around additive combinatorics (Organised by Emma Weschler)
Advancing in Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (Organised by Angela Pistoia and Giusi Vaira)
PDE and stochastic models in biological processes: structured populations and kinetic dynamics (Organised by Inmaculada Benítez Berral )
Facets and Edges of Convex Geometry (Organised by Lidia Gordo Malagón and María Angeles Hernández Cifre)
New Interactions of Real Algebraic Geometry and Topology and their Applications (Organised by Charu Goel, Nidhi Kaihnsa and Marie-Francoise Roy)
Algebraic game theory (Organised by Irem Portakal and Maria-Laura Torrente)
Algebraic Statistics (Organised by Sarah Lumpp and Cecilie Olesen Recke)
Knot Theory, Low-dimensional topology (Organised by Alessia Cattabriga and Sofia Lambropoulou)
Algebraic and Combinatorial Structures: Interactions and Applications (Organised by Laura Cossu, Zahra Nazemian, and Mara Pompili)
Combinatorial Yang–Baxter Equation and Skew Braces (Organised by Ilaria Colazzo, Anastasia Doikou, Maria Ferrara, and Paul Martin)
There will also be a session of contributed talks and a poster session. Information about how to apply for a talk/poster coming soon.
Discussions specific to women in mathematics, mentoring, networking, and a celebration of EWM's 40th anniversary! A detailed program will come soon”
We are able to pay for on-campus housing for some participants. To apply for housing support, fill in the application here. The deadline is 10 April 2026.
Information about how to register for the meeting will come soon.
The conference will take place at the University of Warwick, which is in Coventry, UK. This is an hour from London by train, with easy access via Eurostar to more of Europe. We encourage participants to take the train where possible. Non-UK participants who are combining this conference with other UK travel will probably save by using railpasses (often the Eurostar ticket already pays for itself), split ticket sites (UK train fares do not obey the triangle inequality...), and discount rail cards. A useful site is the Man in Seat 61. The local organiser is also happy to give advice.
The closest airport is Birmingham (BHX). For the London airports take local travel time and cost into account when choosing flights. More information about transport to the university is here.
Note that the town of Warwick is 10 miles from the university, and it is not easy to get from Warwick train station to the university - Coventry is the usual option.
Information about the venue, local housing options and activities in the area coming soon.
