Women in Mathematics Day Ireland 2018
Wednesday 29th August 2018 9AM - 4:30PM
ICON Theatre, O’Brien Centre for Science, University College Dublin
The Women in Mathematics Day Ireland 2018 is a multi-faceted event that
includes plenary talks, academic and industrial research talks, a student
poster session, panel sessions on gender equity, and the centrepiece of
this year’s event is the celebration of Sheila Tinney (1918-2010). Sheila
was the first Irish woman to receive a PhD in Mathematics, a former
lecturer of Theoretical Physics in UCD and one of the first four women to
be admitted to the Royal Irish Academy.
The aim of the conference is to advance gender equity in the mathematical
sciences in Ireland, while also being a forum to encourage, support, and
inspire women at all stages of their education and careers. Talks and
poster presentations will be given by women and men from both academia and
industry.
Invitation to attend the Women in Mathematics Day in Ireland 2018 is
extended to all who might be interested in finding out more about
mathematics. From the general public to industry, from post-primary
students to undergraduates, from PhD students to professors, registration
is free and open to all.
