On July 31, 2018, the IMU
Committee for Women in Mathematics (CWM) welcomed the mathematical community to the
World Meeting for Women in Mathematics - (WM)², a satellite event of the ICM
2018.
The (WM)² brought together mathematicians from all over the world to think about and
discuss gender issues in mathematics, its challenges, initiatives, and perspectives for the future, with
a strong focus on Latin America. Its program included research talks, group discussions about gender
issues in mathematics, a panel discussion, poster presentation, and a tribute to Maryam Mirzakhani.

activities of the first (WM)² for the full report, with many

The proceedings book World Women in Mathematics 2018 -
Proceedings of the First World Meeting for Women in Mathematics (WM)² was published
in the Springer Association for Women in Mathematics Series. It also covers the CWM panel discussion at
ICM 2018.
