[cmath] Funding call for 2018-IMU Committee for Women in Mathematics (CWM)

[Matilde Lalin]

*IMU Committee for Women in Mathematics (CWM)Funding call for 2018*

The IMU's Committee for Women in Mathematics (http://www.mathunion.org/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. Help could include, for example,
funding meetings, travel for individuals for consultation purposes, or
advice and support in creating websites. Please note that CWM will not
normally fund activities taking place in the same or nearby location as one
it has already funded in 2015, 2016 or 2017 (see www.mathunion.org/cwm/ for
the list).

b) Organizing a mathematical school open to all with all women speakers and
mainly women organisers.This type of mathematical school, which should
include a significant proportion of time devoted to background and
introductory material, can be a very effective way of showcasing the
contributions of women mathematicians and creating an opportunity for
female students to be in touch with women leaders, without excluding male
students. Expenses covered by CWM could include, for example, costs for
speakers, women organisers, or for women participants.

c) Other ideas for researching and/or addressing issues encountered by
women in mathematics may also be considered.

Proposers should write a short account (no more than two pages) explaining
the nature of their activity and how it fulfills one of the above aims, as
well as indications on how the CWM money would be spent and other funding
which may be available. There will be only one call for applications
regarding activities in 2018 with deadline 15 December, 2017.
Applications should be sent to applications-for-cwm at mathunion.org

Successful applications will be informed no later than 31January, 2018.
Depending on demand, successful applications may not be funded in full.
Successful applicants will be asked to send a short report of the activity
with details of how the budget was spent before the end of 2018.
