Following on from three hugely successful iterations of the Retreat for Women in Applied Mathematics that have taken place in Edinburgh, we are delighted to announce that the first international version of the Retreat will take place in Vietnam in September 2025.  Apala Majumdar, the organiser of the UK-RWAM events, is collaborating with colleagues in Vietnam and Indonesia to host the Retreat in Hanoi later this year.  Apala Majumdar said "I am delighted that the "Retreat for Women in Applied Mathematics (RWAM)" model is receiving global recognition. RWAM has been unequivocally lauded by young women in the UK, in terms of building their personal and professional networks. This is now the right time to take RWAM abroad and we see this event as being the stepping stone for a long-term UK-Southeast Asia network in applied mathematics and EDI initiatives".

Full details can be found here and applications from women mathematicians in the UK are welcome.  Funding is available thanks to the generous support of XTX Markets. The RWAM-SE2025 is part of the ICMS Mathematics for Humanity worldwide activities.
