*Homology was originally developed as numeric invariants, like the Euler characteristic or Betti numbers. But it was Noether in 1925 who thought of homology as algebraic structures given by the homology groups, thus paving the way for the development of e.g. chain complexes. See Weibel's "History of Homological Algebra" for more details.

The conference will showcase outstanding mathematical research carried out by women researchers who utilize (co)homological tools in their work.
According to the 2016/2017 LMS report, despite the fact that 40% of undergraduates in mathematical sciences are women, only 11% of them become professors. We seek to address this "leaky pipeline" issue by providing an opportunity for early career women and nonbinary mathematicians to build a support network with established researchers.
The conference will not only provide a platform for cross-disciplinary and cross-generational collaboration but also allow young (and possibly marginalized) researchers to make meaningful scientific connections.
