43 women gathered in Warwick, representing 13 European countries with ‘guests’ from as far afield as Brazil and the Côte d’Ivoire. There was a generous funding from the Women’s Policy Division of the EEC and of the London Mathematical Society, that allowed  to plan a 3 day meeting and cover the expenses of everyone who did not get help from their own country.  The ambitious three day programme included an afternoon of talks and discussions for 100 girls from local schools, and a day devoted to mathematics.
