Antje Dabeler, Azul Fatalini, Martina Fruttidoro und Julia Schleuß are or were PhD researchers at our Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster. For "International Women in Maths Day" 2021, we asked the four mathematicians in the video: "What has been the most important maths moment for you so far?".

Her Maths Story

Joana Sarah Grah, Julia Kroos and Tamara Grossmann, three female mathematicians who did their Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Münster, created the website "Her Maths Story". By sharing stories of female mathematicians, they want to showcase the variety of careers and to encourage young women to pursue studies and careers in maths.

Video interview with Prof. Dr. Gigliola Staffilani

In our video series "Behind the Science", the outstandig mathematician Prof. Dr. Gigliola Staffilani (MIT) talks about turning points, obstacles and successes of her career path.

International Women in Maths Day at Mathematics Münster

The "International Women in Maths Day" on 12 May is a great opportunity to celebrate women in mathematics and make their achievements more visible. In Münster, we participate in the worldwide celebrations with various offers.

Equality and Diversity

Mathematics Münster supports underrepresented groups and aims to increase gender equality, e.g. through programmes such as the MATHRIX Professorship, the Ada Lovelace Fellowships for excellent doctoral researchers, and the MINT Mentoring programme for outstanding female master’s students.
