Committee for Equality (2024-2026)

Tasks of the Committee for Equality:
Preparation of proposals to achieve the gender equality objectives:

  • Increase of the percentage of women among GAMM members.
  • Increase of the visibility of female role models in mathematics and in particular in mechanics.
  • Launch of a general discussion on the improvement of the basic conditions of women scientists in these areas.

The email list “women-in-gamm” has been set-up in cooperation with the Committee for Equality. It addresses all female members of GAMM and aims at improving the exchange among female scientists in GAMM. Therefore, one can not only share information about scientific events or job offers, but also announce specific events/workshops for female scientist working in the fields of applied mathematics and mechanics.

In order to send announcements of events/job offers or other valuable news for women in GAMM to all subscribers of the mailing list, please send an email to the address Sympa@groups.tu-dresden.de .

To subscribe to the email list, please send an email without text with the subject ”SUBSCRIBE women-in-gamm” to gamm@mailbox.tu-dresden.de .
