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 with mathematicians, especially women mathematicians not just from India but internationally, 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, as well as to present their work. To this end, in addition to the invited talks, there will be sessions featuring contributed talks, and a poster session. Advanced Ph.D. students and early-career researchers are encouraged to apply (when registering for this conference) to give a contributed talk or present a poster.

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