About IWM

The Indian Women and Mathematics (IWM) is a collective of mathematicians that has been in existence formally since 2013. It began as a project supported by the National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM), Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India and continues to be sponsored by NBHM. IWM's main aim is to encourage more women to pursue higher education and careers in mathematics. To this end, IWM organises regular academic events and networking opportunities in all parts of India, and collaborates with like-minded organisations and people across the world.
