Fourth International Conference

Women in Mathematics in
South-Eastern Europe

December 18 – 20, 2023,
Sofia, Bulgaria

organized by

International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia (ICMS-Sofia)
and
Institute of the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas at the University of Miami (IMSA)

The initiative Women in Mathematics of South-Eastern Europe, aiming at promoting the role of female mathematicians, started in Dec 2020, when the inaugural conference took place. A special distinguished guest of the inaugural conference was prof. Mina Teicher from the Department of Mathematics and Gonda Brain Research Center, Bar-Ilan University, Israel, Director of Emmy Noether Institute for Mathematics. Prof. Mina Teicher is leading a multi-year programme on “Advancing Women in Mathematics across the Americas” in the Miami University.

The main goal of these events is to celebrate women in Mathematics, to disseminate new results and create new long-term collaborations among scientists in South-Eastern Europe. We hope Women in Mathematics of South-Eastern Europe will attract the attention of young researchers and researchers from less-favoured countries.
