Indian Women and Mathematics (IWM) is a collective of Indian mathematicians that has been in existence since 2009. Our objective is to encourage more women to pursue higher education in mathematics, and to organize events and networking opportunities that will enable them to take up careers in mathematics.

The IWM Annual Conferences aim to bring together women students, college and university teachers and early-career researchers working at the frontiers of mathematics to exchange mathematical ideas and share their experiences.

A major goal of this event is to enable junior women mathematicians to interact with their senior colleagues, both individually and in small groups. Due to the ongoing pandemic, IWM will be held in a virtual mode this year. In addition to the invited talks, there will be break out sessions that will facilitate interactions of young researchers with senior mathematicians. Advanced Ph.D. students, early-career researchers and prospective participants from SAARC nations are encouraged to apply.

Participation is not restricted to women only. Others are welcome to apply, especially those in the early stages of their careers.
