Programs for Women in Math:
Every year, the AWM and Math for America co-sponsor an essay contest to help raise awareness about the contributions of women in mathematics and statistics, where students can submit biographies of actual women who hold/have held careers in the mathematical sciences. Any undergraduate is welcome to apply. Information about submission requirements, how to apply, prizes, and examples of past essays can be found here. Applications are being accepted until February 1, 2026.
The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, NJ is hosting WAM 2026, a series of advanced minicourses for women in mathematics. This year's topic is Waves, Wave Packets, and Their Interactions. The program is offering 2 minicourses and it runs from May 17-22, 2026. Applications are being accepted until February 6, 2026. More information about the courses and the application can be found here.
The AWM Research Symposium is a research conference organized by AWM meant to highlight math research being done by women. It fosters community and networking for all career stages, from undergraduates to senior professionals, featuring plenary talks, special sessions, poster sessions, and panel discussions across pure math, applied math, and education. Undergraduate and graduate students who have done research are eligible to apply to present a poster at the conference. Details about the 2026 symposium are TBA.
