Dear colleagues,
We send our best wishes for a great year in all aspects of life!
We hope that you've had a great summer relaxing with your loved ones! Also, we hope that the new academic year has had a great start for you and that you already miss our monthly meetings.
Our seminar "Mathematics and Life" will be held on Monday, October 10, 2022, starting at 7:30 p.m.
As a topic of discussion, we propose to debate whether or not the two years of maternity leave provided by the state for raising children in Romania should be deducted from certain promotion criteria.
Event: Celebrating Women in Mathematics in 2022, 4th edition!
The May12 initiative - May 12 is a joyful opportunity for the mathematical community to celebrate women in mathematics. The celebration takes place every year, all around the world. Why the 12th of May ? See the website for details : https://may12.womeninmaths.org/
The topic of the year "Mathematics unites!"
The International Mathematical Union's Committee for Women in Mathematics (CWM) is supporting actively the International Day of Mathematics and most of the activities are gender balanced and illustrate the involvement of women and girls in the event.
