EWM Romania 2011-2013

Although we have promoted the European Women in Mathematics Society and the European Women in Mathematics Meeting this year in Bonn through the Departments of Mathematics from different University in Romania, the number of active members of the European Women in Mathematics Society (EWM) in Romania is still not very high (less than 10). Also, most of the announcements on other conferences or scientific activities are disseminated through emails with the active members of EWM in the country. This year an important mathematical meeting took place in Romania. A Joint International Meeting of the American Mathematical Society and the Romanian Mathematical Society took place in Romania, at “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia, between the 27th and the 30th of June 2013. There was a large spectrum of mathematical topics addressed at the meeting: Algebraic Geometry, Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, Domain Decomposition Methods and their Applications in Mechanics and Engineering, Harmonic Analysis and Applications, Geometry and Topology of Arrangements of Hypersurfaces, Local and Nonlocal Models in Wave Propagation and Diffusion, Mathematical Finance, Stochastic Analysis, and Partial Differential Equations, Mathematical Models in Life and Environment, Mathematical Models in Materials Science and Engineering, Noncommutative Ring Theory and Applications, Nonlinear Evolution Equations, Operator Algebra and Noncommutative Geometry, Operator Theory and Function Spaces, Probability and its Relation to Other Fields of Mathematics, Random Matrices and Free Probability, Several Complex Variables, Complex Geometry and Dynamics, Topics in Geometric and Algebraic Topology. Unfortunately, no women was considered for a plenary speaker position; however, a large number of women attended the meeting.
