IMU/CDC has recently established the Graduate Research Assistantships in Developing Countries (GRAID) program for graduate students working in a developing country. It provides modest support for emerging research groups, making it possible for them to fund their most talented students as graduate research assistants, thereby fostering the growth of a mathematics community.

CWM Call 2018    CWM invites proposals for funding of up to €3000 for activities or initiatives taking place in 2018, aimed at either (a) establishing or supporting networks for women in mathematics, preferably at the continental or regional level, and with priority given to networks in developing or emerging countries or (b) organizing a mathematical school open to all with all women speakers and mainly women organisers or (c) other ideas for researching and/or addressing issues encountered by women in mathematics. For more details see here.

There will be a memorial celebration of the life of Maryam Mirzakhani on Saturday, October 21st, 3:00-5:00 pm in the Cemex Auditorium, Stanford University.  It is being organized by the Stanford Mathematics Department, with the guidance of Jan Vondrak and the rest of Maryam’s family.

The ceremony will feature reminiscences from family and friends, including some of Maryam’s mathematical colleagues.  It is  also expected that there will  be visual and musical presentations, reflecting her life and interests.

The event will be open to the public, live streamed, and the video later posted online.
