The 8ECM will feature a total of just over 1,000 lectures, from mini-
symposia to plenary and invited lectures and lectures for the general
public. In addition to the scientific program, the organizers are preparing
a number of accompanying events and exhibitions.

“WOMEN OF MATHEMATICS THROUGHOUT
EUROPE - A GALLERY OF PORTRAITS”

This is an extended exhibition, edited by Sylvie Paycha and Noel Tovia
Matoff as part of the 8th European Congress of Mathematics, and hosted
by University of Primorska.

The organizer of the exhibition is the Committee for Women at
the Society of Mathematicians, Physicists and Astronomers of
Slovenia (DMFA). The Committee is devoted to promoting the studies
of mathematics, physics and astronomy among girls and women, and is
advocating achievements of women in science.

Women of Mathematics throughout Europe is a touring exhibition
whose starting point was the 7th ECM held in July 2016 in Berlin. It was,
however, extended for the 8ECM, introducing mathematicians from the
Euro-Mediterranean region. A new catalogue presenting all speakers is
also available for order at: https://womeninmath.net/catalogue/

The exhibition is a part of the May12 movement, which is celebrating
Women in Mathematics and promoting 120 events worldwide. The
movement was initiated on 31st July 2018 at the World Meeting for
Women in Mathematics, (WM)^2 in Rio de Janeiro in memory of Maryam
Mirzakhani’s birthday.

The exhibition Women of Mathematics throughout Europe is open
from May 15 to June 30, 2021 in Armerija Palace in Koper, Slovenia (Tito
square 4).
