We particularly welcome applications from individuals who are able to start between 1 June 2026 and 1 September 2026.
The Retreat for Women in Applied Mathematics 2026 (RWAM 2026) is a five-day retreat for female applied mathematicians (or people who identify as female) from all career stages (PhD, postdoc, junior or senior faculty), generally working in the field of mathematical modelling across the physical sciences, biology and engineering. Building on the successes of RWAM 2023, 2024 and 2025, RWAM 2026 will be a distinctive event touching different aspects of careers in mathematics.
