Asian and Oceanian Women in Mathematics (AOWM) is a group that has been created with encouragement and support from the Committee for Women in Mathematics (CWM).
The first Asian and Oceanian Committee for Women in Mathematics of the International Mathematical Union ambassadors meeting was held on-line on June 25th and 26th, 2021. Its purpose was to discuss how to build a network of women mathematicians working in Asian and Oceanian countries, and to discuss initiatives on the gender issue.
The meeting resolved to form the Asian Oceanian Women in Mathematics (AOWM) and to establish a working group charged with producing draft AOWM guidelines.
The foundational meeting of AOWM was held online on August 1 2022. There are more than 200 founding members from 18 Asian and 0ceanian countries. The preparation process was taken care of by a group led by Motoko Kotani and Kyewon Koh Park.
