📣 Call for Participants – #PortraitOfAMathematician

We warmly invite women and non-binary mathematicians to share their stories and be part of our weekly social media campaign: #PortraitOfAMathematician.

Once a week, we feature a short portrait of a mathematician affiliated with an Austrian university or from Austria — celebrating the diversity and talent within our community.

💬 Want to be featured?
Simply fill out the Jotform from above.
Your portrait will appear on our LinkedIn and Instagram channels.

For any questions, feel free to contact Corinna Perchtold  (corinna.perchtold@jku.at).
We look forward to hearing from you!

✍️ Looking for a supportive space to work on your academic writing?

Join our 𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 – a weekly meetup hosted by the Austrian Association of Women in Mathematics.

🗓 Fridays at 09:00 CET

We meet once a week, but there's no pressure to join every session — come when it fits your schedule!

💬 What can you expect?

* A confidential and encouraging atmosphere

* Constructive feedback and peer support

📩 Interested? Reach out to Leah Schätzler (𝗲𝘅𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗵.𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘇𝗹𝗲𝗿@𝗮𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗼.𝗳𝗶) for the link! 

Call for suggestions: You want to suggest a woman mathematician who should have a Wikipedia article our whose article needs an edit or a translation? Then tell us about her in this form.

Our authors will consider the suggestions depending on their capacity and expertise.

In the mentoring program, more experienced researchers serve as mentors for small groups of mentees. The group, consisting of one mentor and up to four mentees, has regular meetings to discuss questions regarding job, career, and routine. In addition, the program includes meetings of people with various career paths.

Please contact Anastasia Molchanova (anastasia.molchanova@univie.ac.at) if you have any questions.

To encourage networking among women and non-binary mathematicians in a relaxed atmosphere, we organize tea time events thrice a year.

Join our next virtual Tea Time event for women and non-binary mathematicians! We look forward to meeting you to have a chat, share experiences, ask for help or just help you connect with other like-minded people. We will have a suggested topic for discussion for each event to get the conversations rolling. However, the participants are free to chat about whatever they like.

Stay tuned - more virtual editions (where we provide break-out rooms for discussions in smaller groups) and in-person meetings in different cities will come!

Please subscribe to our mailing list to receive all info about the location/the Zoom link of the next tea time event.

The Austrian Day of Women in Mathematics happens every February. The fifth edition will take place in Vienna on February 28, 2025 - register now! All details and the schedule can be found on the conference's website here.

The aim of this event is to bring together women mathematicians in Austria and highlight their achievements.

We encourage people of all genders to attend this event!

In 2021, 2022 and 2023, the conference took place virtually, check out the conference's websites here, here and here. In 2024, the conference took place in person in Linz, check out the conference website here.

Check out our interviews with successful women in mathematics in Austria! The interviews are also published in the International Mathematical News.

In our Spotlight program we discuss with women mathematicians how they overcame particular hurdles. Our first topic is Moving for work, the second one is From Math to application, the third one is about Grant application. Then we discussed Kids and career, Women mathematicians in leading positions and lastly Mathematics in industry.

We announce all our events and activities through our mailing list. To subscribe, please either fill out our registration form or send an email to elena dot resmerita snail aau dot at! You can unsubscribe at any time. We also have a Newsletter archive.
