Research Collaboration Conferences for Women


There have been recent efforts to build networks of female researchers in different areas of mathematics through Research Collaboration Conferences for Women (RCCWs) at math institutes, which focus on building collaboration groups consisting of senior and junior women in a given area. The networks continue to operate after the conferences. In September 2015 the Association for Women in Mathematics was awarded an NSF ADVANCE Grant to establish and provide support for new RCCWs and to run workshops to follow up of the work started at the RCCWs. The first workshop supported by the AWM ADVANCE Grant was the AWM Workshop:Special Session in Algebraic Combinatorics at JMM 2016 in Seattle.

Research Collaboration Networks for Women

  • Women in Algebraic Combinatorics (WomenInAC)
  • Women in Algebraic Geometry (WiAG)
  • Women in Applied Mathematics (WhAM!)
  • Women in Analysis(WoAN)
  • Women in Commutative Algebra (WICA)
  • Women in Computational Topology (WinCompTop)
  • Women in Control ( WIC)
  • Women in Geometry (WIG)
  • Women in Graph Theory and Applications(WIGA)
  • Women in Math Biology (WIMB)

  • Women in Symplectic and Contact Geometry and Topology (WiSCon)
  • Women in Math and Public Policy (WPOL)
  • Women in Topology (WIT)
  • Women's Intellectual Research Network (WINRS)

  • Research Collaboration Conferences for Women

    The idea of the model for such conferences is to bring together senior women in a particular mathematical research area to run research projects during a week-long conference: the participants in the project groups are female graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty who apply to attend. The benefit of such a structured program with leaders, projects and working groups, planned in advance, is intended to be in both directions: for senior women who will hopefully meet, mentor, and collaborate with the brightest young women in their field on a part of their research agenda of their choosing, and for junior women and students who will develop their network of colleagues and supporters and encounter important new research areas to work in, thereby improving their chances for successful research careers. Participating institutes include, BIRS, IPAM, IMA, and CIRM.
