PhD students in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematical statistics, mathematics education or history of mathematics from the Nordic countries are invited to participate in a summer school in mathematics organized by the European Women in Mathematics (EWM).
The summer school is especially aimed at encouraging female students and researchers, but is open also for male students as well as students outside the Nordic countries. Post-docs or advanced undergraduates thinking of PhD studies are also welcome. The program of the meeting is broad and will be of interest for students working in different research areas. Mini-courses will give an introduction and an overview over three chosen topics of general interest from different areas of mathematics. They will be aimed at all students with a general mathematical background, yet come to touch questions of current research. Internationally recognized mathematicians will give the mini-courses and special lectures. The participants are invited to contribute to workshops and seminars with their own presentations. Our goal is to provide a stimulating intellectual environment for female PhD students from different countries and different mathematical specialties to learn new mathematics and meet new colleagues. We expect that much of the long-term benefit of the meeting will come from the personal contacts established and the exchange of ideas taking place during informal discussions. We hope that these contacts will help the forming and development of a network for female PhD students in the Nordic countries and between PhD students and established mathematicians. The summer school is partially funded by the Finnish Cultural Foundation, Nokia, and the Turku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS), Finland, in an attempt to encourage greater participation of women in mathematical research. Besides the scientific program there will be an opportunity to meet professional female mathematicians for discussions. Several social events and one excursion will be held. The summer school starts at 10 am on Monday, June 22, and ends at 3 pm on Saturday, June 27.
Scientific program
A number of well-established mathematicians from different countries will be main speakers in the summer school. They will give three mini-courses and a few more specialized 60-minutes lectures. Ample time will be allowed for participants to share ideas and make new contacts, and informal sessions facilitating such interaction will be encouraged. The scientific program is planned in collaboration with the Scientific Committee of the European Mathematical Society (EMS). Invited speakers so far include (preliminary, changes possible):
Number theory, algebra, and applications
Sujatha Ramadorai, Chennai Mathematical Institute, India
John Coates, University of Cambridge, UK
Kaisa Nyberg, Helsinki University of Technology, Nokia Research Centre, Finland
Eva Bayer-Fluckiger, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland
Analysis Lecturers to be announced
Biomathematics Lecturers to be announced
