Retreat for Women in Applied Mathematics - Southeast Asia 2025
Time:
Venue/Location: Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM), 157 Chua Lang Str., Lang Thuong, Dong Da Dist., Hanoi.
Objective
“Retreat for Women in Applied Mathematics - South East Asia (RWAM-SE2025)” will be organised for the first time in South East Asia as an international scientific, networking and collaborative forum for female applied mathematicians (applied mathematics to be interpreted broadly). The RWAM-SE retreat hosted at the Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics is inspired by the successful UK-based RWAM initiative.
The retreat’s goals include promoting gender equality, showcasing diverse applied mathematics disciplines, and fostering bilateral collaboration between UK and South East Asia. Activities will encompass keynote lecturers, contributed talks, poster session, round table discussion on academic and career development. It aims to integrate participants from various fields, including climate change, optimization, machine learning, and mathematical biology, ensuring a scientifically diverse audience.
The retreat aligns with the ICMS Mathematics for Humanity Worldwide initiative, focusing on equality, diversity, and inclusivity (EDI) in mathematical sciences. It seeks to establish a sustainable global network of female mathematicians, promote international research collaborations, and increase visibility for applied mathematics in the region.
