First of all, I would like to mention the successful participation of the Romanian team in the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad EGMO, where, along the years, the team was awarded with honorable prizes:

• 2012 – Cambridge, UK – the second place out of 19 countries with one gold and three silver medals;
• 2013 – Luxembourg, Luxembourg – the 6th place out of 22 countries with one gold, two silver and one bronze medal;
• 2014 – Antalya, Turkey – the third place out of 29 countries with two gold, one silver and one bronze medal;
• 2015 – Minks, Belarus – the fourth place out of 30 countries with two gold, one silver and one bronze medal.

On the other hand, I have to say that there are few members of the EWM Association in Romania and there are no activities involving exclusively women mathematicians.

We truly hope this situation will change in the future. A first step towards the better was to advertise the EWM Association through a blog entitled lizicamihut.ro, where the owner of the blog, Professor Lizica Mihut, a prestigious and well known Romanian scholar, has kindly accepted to present the association and the advantages brought to each member of the community of women mathematicians by taking part in activities coordinated by EWM. The text had an important impact in the Romanian media, as it was quoted by several sites, such as arq.ro, glsa.ro, newsar.ro, vestic.ro, stirilive.ro, presaonline.com, ultimele-stiri.eu, index-stiri.ro, ziare-pe-net.ro, ziarelive.ro. With respect and in addition to the main objectives of the EWM Association, we intend:

• to facilitate online networking between Romanian women mathematicians, to share information about job opportunities, scholarships and grants;
• to organize dialogues on “Excellency in Mathematics”, regarding all levels of the teaching system;
• to organize workshops on “Mathematics and discrimination”;
• to organize training sessions in order to facilitate the access to structural European funds by women mathematicians;
• to host in Arad an International Conference on “The EWM Association – Present and Future”
