The Women In Maths group at the University of Bath is excited to hold its Women in Maths Conference 2021, free for all to attend. Our aim is to showcase the different paths that women can take to mathematical careers. There will be speakers from both academia and industry, discussing their work as well as their experience of being a woman in mathematics.
Each session of talks will be followed by a panel discussion where there will be an opportunity to ask the guest speakers questions. Feel free to drop in and out of the various sessions throughout the day.
If you are planning to watch any of the talks, please register on the eventbrite page and you will receive a link to watch the talks via Zoom.
We hope to see many of you there.
