The Women in Mathematics Day Ireland (WIMDI) has become an annual conference since its inauguration in 2010. The conference is a multi-faceted event that includes plenary talks, academic and industrial research talks, poster sessions for participants, panel sessions on gender equity, and thematic events.

The aim of the conference is to advance gender equity in the mathematical sciences in Ireland, while also being a forum to encourage, support, and inspire women at all stages of their education and careers. Talks and poster presentations will be given by women and men from both academia and industry.

Invitation to attend the Women in Mathematics Day in Ireland 2018 is extended to all who might be interested in finding out more about mathematics. From the general public to industry, from post-primary students to undergraduates, from PhD students to professors, registration is free and open to all.
