Upcoming Events

The School of Mathematics is involved in many events surrounding the promotion of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the school.

Piscopia

Piscopia is a UK-wide initiative which aims to promote women and non-binary people in mathematics. They run seminars during the university year called PiWorks, where academics from marginalised genders give talks about their work and career to inform prospective PhD students. The School of Mathematics is involved in many of these seminars, and it is highly recommended that students make the most of these events.

Mathematics and Physics Neurodiversity Peer Support Network

The Mathematics and Physics Neurodiversity Peer Support Network meets every fourth Wednesday, 13:00 - 15:00 in JCMB for informal chats over tea and coffee. To join the network, receive updates and take part in further discussions, contact Charlotte Desvages (charlotte.desvages@ed.ac.uk)

Lunches for women, non-binary and other sex and gender minorities

Organised by Milena Hering, Ana Rita Pires and Andreia Pereira Chapouto, these regular lunches provide opportunities for graduate students and staff in the School of Maths, who identify as women, non-binary, and other sex and gender minorities to come together to meet new people and share experiences. These lunches typically take place once a month in JCMB.
