November 21, 2023: A²WiM Tea Time meets VSM Happy Hour
A2WiM hosted an in-person tea time in Vienna in collaboration with VSM (Vienna School of Mathematics) Happy Hour on November 21, 2023 at Fladerei Berggasse. The topic was "Let's talk about diversity".
Agenda:
Part 1: Three short discussion rounds about:
How can the number of women in the doctoral program be increased?
How can other aspects of life, for instance care taking needs, be better accommodated in academia?
How can we change the stereotypical image of a scientist?

September 27, 2021: A²WiM at the joint annual conference of DMV and ÖMG, Passau (online)
At this year's online DMV+ÖMG conference A²WiM organized a workshop and a mini-symposium:
The workshop Get-together and career advice for young mathematicians, organized by Hana Dal Poz Kouřimská, Teresa Heiss, and Anastasia Molchanova, targeted students and early career researchers, and focused on networking and career opportunities, both within and outside of academia. The schedule included the discussion of career paths and hurdles in small groups with experts with various successful careers, targeted networking with young researchers within your field of expertise, as well as a relaxed late-afternoon program.
A thematic minisymposium "Connecting young researchers by networks" was organized by Veronika Pillwein and Mechthild Thalhammer. The intention was to initiate in particular the scientific exchange between young mathematicians of all genders from Austrian and German institutions, and to promote new perspectives. The connecting element of the eleven speakers with diverse backgrounds was a common research interest in graph and network theory, and led to inspiring talks and discussions.
Both events took place on Monday, 27th of September 2021.
