The aim of this event is to bring mathematicians together to:

• highlight achievements of women and non-binary mathematicians
• develop a network which fosters interdisciplinary collaborations
• promote mutual support, such as career advice and mentoring
• give young women and non-binary researchers the opportunity to present their work
• discuss hot topics

From the 9th to the 11th of September 2026 the first conference of women and non-binary researchers in set theory will take place at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) in Vienna. For more details - click here to go to the conference website!

The fem*MA Advancement Awards programme is now firmly established and offers much more than just support: it opens doors!

By integrating master's students directly into the institute’s research structures and working groups, the programme places them in the center of academic life. The winners collaborate closely with PraeDocs, PostDocs, and faculty members, gaining authentic insight into research, teamwork, and the realities of academia.

The idea is straightforward: offer real insight into academia, create connections, and encourage these talented women to consider taking the next step — pursuing a PhD and continuing their journey in research.

There is so much that can happen within a year. Specially if you're a female* network with enough fuel for three institutes. In a world of perfectionism and pessimism our brain often puts a veil over everything we've achieved already. One is more likely to remember everything that went wrong rather than what went perfectly fine. With that said fem*MA wants to put some attention towards everything that we achieved passed year. Welcome to the annual report 2024/2025 of fem*MA!
