Women in (Co)Homology
April 2-3, 2025
Loughborough University
In celebration of the 100 year anniversary of Emmy Noether's profound observations on homology*, we feature women and nonbinary mathematicians whose research builds on her foundational ideas.
In addition to the invited speakers, anyone is welcome to attend and submit abstracts for contributed talks regardless of gender.
*In 1925, homology was viewed merely as a numerical invariant. But it was Noether who thought of homology groups as algebraic structures, thus paving the way for the development of e.g. chain complexes. See Weibel's "History of Homological Algebra" for more details.

Goals of the Event
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 resport, despite the fact that 40% of undergradutes 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.
