Outreach 101: engaging with hands-on math activities

Nina Gasking

What's the deal with outreach? Should you even bother? And if so, where do you begin? These might not be questions you've lost sleep over, but I'll give you the answers anyway! This talk will be all about mathematical outreach—what it looks like, why it's worth your time, and how it can transform the way people think about maths. I'll share my own take on it, including the hands-on activities I've tried and the moments where I realised that not every maths concept needs to be shared (and honestly, that's okay!). Be ready to join in for a small hands-on example (don't worry, nothing too intense). Together, we'll see how outreach can make maths more approachable, more fun, and maybe even more human.

Which results on gender and equality every mathematician should know

Olga Paris-Romaskevitch

Based on a selection of works in social psychology, sociology, neuroscience, educational and cultural studies, I will show why women are pushed away from mathematics, and what we should do about mathematics (and not about women) to stop it from happening.

Open Science and its impact on Mathematics

Alain Marois, Florence Codet, Filippo Nuccio

In this presentation, we will first deal with Open Science and its main issues, with a special focus on academic publications and different publishing models. In a second step, we will address the issue of ethics through practical examples of journals and publishing platforms.

Ecological impact of mathematical research

Laurent Jeanneau

Because of its multiple socio-environmental impacts, current scientific research is unsustainable. This is mainly due to the fact that it has developed in unsustainable societies. What are the individual and systemic obstacles to the development of sustainable scientific research? How we can overcome them to unleash our capacity to invent modes of scientific research in line with a just, safe and desirable world for humanity?
