Graz Women in Math is hosting the sixth “Austrian Day of Women in Mathematics” on 26-27 February 2026, organized by the Austrian Association of Women in Mathematics.

The conference will take place in the Department of Mathematics and Scientific Computing at Heinrichstraße 36, 8010 Graz.

The aim of this event is to bring mathematicians together to:

• highlight achievements of women and non-binary mathematicians

• develop a network which fosters interdisciplinary collaborations

• promote mutual support, such as career advice and mentoring

• give young women and non-binary researchers the opportunity to present their work

• discuss hot topics

Presenters: women and non-binary speakers

Participants: all genders - come and support your peers and listen to their exciting research!

Notice: Please note that photos will be taken during the event.

A tentative program with the names of the invited speakers will be published in October. The event will start with lunch on Thursday 26 and will finish at 12:30 on Friday 27.

There will also be parallel sessions and poster presentations where everyone is invited to participate.

A conference dinner will be offered on Thursday night.

 For this event there is no conference fee but the registation is mandatory. Registration is already open!

 Free child care is going to be organized during the event. Please write in the registration form if you need it.

To celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna warmly invites female high-school students in their final two years to a special on-site event. It will take place on the 4th of March.

The event is designed to offer an authentic insight into what it means to study mathematics at university. Participants will have the opportunity to meet mathematicians, hear personal stories, and experience mathematics beyond the classroom in an engaging and welcoming atmosphere.

The workshop is the sixth in the "Women in Optimization" series. It is aimed at young female scientists, doctoral candidates and students of mathematics with a focus on optimization. 

The aim of the workshop is both professional development and networking within the optimization community. In lectures by invited speakers, we would like to present the broadest possible range of mathematical optimization and the associated numerics. 

In addition to the lectures, the workshop offers plenty of space for scientific discussions and exchange of experiences. In poster sessions, the young female scientists are given the opportunity to actively participate. The workshop will be held in German.

Registration is not yet open.

We are happy to announce that the registration for the conference “Regensburg GAP days 2”, taking place in Regensburg on 27-29 July 2026, is now open!

This conference aims to bring together early career researchers in geometric group theory, arithmetic geometry and analysis of PDEs, who will have the opportunity to present their own results.

In mostly parallel sessions, we will provide a stimulating environment for collaboration and scientific interaction between young participants and senior speakers, the latter being:

• Mireille Soergel, TU Berlin

• Anitha Thillaisundaram, Lund University

• Naomi Andrew, Laboratoire de Mathématiques d’Orsay

• Katharina Müller, Bundeswehr Universität München

• Eugenia Rosu, Leiden University

• Oihana Garaialde Ocaña, University of the Basque Country

• Lea Boßmann, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg

• Céline Grandmont, Sorbonne Université & Inria

• Dorothee Knees, Universität Kassel

• Elke Wolf, Hochschule München

In addition to the mathematical presentations, we will also feature a lecture on gender studies in academic contexts and two career panels.

Everyone is welcome to participate! You can register here! Limited funding for travel and accommodation is available. The deadline for contributed talks and financial support is April 30, 2026.

The 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) will take place in Heidelberg, Germany between 13–18 September 2026.

At the HLF, all winners of the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, the ACM A.M. Turing Award, the Nevanlinna Prize/IMU Abacus Medal, and the ACM Prize in Computing are invited to attend. In addition, young and talented computer scientists and mathematicians are invited to apply for participation. The previous HLFs have been an exceptional success. The HLF serves as a great platform for interaction between the masters in the fields of mathematics and computer science and young talents.

Over the course of the week-long conference, young researchers will be given the exclusive possibility to profoundly connect with their scientific role models and find out how the laureates made it to the top of their fields. As described by a young researcher, “Meeting the humans behind some of the most formidable inventions and discoveries of our time was phenomenal. What was unexpected, perhaps, was how warm and approachable these individuals turned out to be. I am grateful to have been given this opportunity, and to have shared it with peers who I hope to soon call colleagues, collaborators and friends."

Applications for participation at the 13th HLF are open in three categories: Undergraduate/Pre-Master, Graduate PhD, and PostDocs. The application period for the 13th HLF runs from November 2025 until February 2026.

See the webpage https://application.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org for the online application and nomination forms.

For questions regarding requirements and the application process, please contact Young Researchers Relations at: yr@heidelberg-laureate-forum.org .

All applications that are completed and submitted by the deadline are meticulously reviewed by an international committee of experts to ensure that only the most qualified candidates are invited. There are 100 spaces available for each discipline of mathematics and computer science. All applicants will be notified by the end of April 2026 whether or not they are invited.
