Graduate Research Opportunities for Women at Bonn 2022

Date: March 31 - April 2, 2022

The GROW@Bonn 2022 conference is aimed at women, non-binary and gender diverse undergraduate students who may be interested in learning about opportunities of graduate degree in the mathematical sciences.

The conference is open to undergraduate students from universities in Germany and neighbouring EU countries, including international students. By popular demand most lectures will be held in English, however bilingual communications during panels will be happily facilitated, upon request.

The conference will feature

  • lectures
  • panel discussions about graduate research in the mathematical sciences
  • networking opportunities
  • advice on preparing applications for graduate school (masters and PhD)

Corona regulations will be updated closer to the event.

Plenary speaker

Ulrike Tillmann has made notable contributions to the study of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces and their cohomology, and more recently in the field of topological data analysis. She is professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford. She was awarded the Whitehead Prize by the London Mathematical Society in 2004 and was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 2008. In 2021, she was named Director of the Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge and became the president of the London Mathematical Society. Prof. Tillmann has a strong connection to Bonn, having completed her habilitation here.
