From December 7-9, 2026 the fourth edition of the workshop “Women in Algebra and Symbolic Computation” will take place at the Kurparkhotel in Bad Dürkheim. The main organizers are Prof. Dr. Gunter Malle, Prof. Dr. Hannah Markwig, Prof. Dr. Gabriela Weitze-Schmithüsen and Dr. Michael Kunte.
Program
The conference is dedicated to the promotion of female researchers in the research area of our TRR. Hence the algebraic disciplines group and representation theory, algebraic geometry, commutative and non-commutative algebra, tropical and polyhedral geometry, number theory as well as random matrix theory and free probability are included. These mathematical fields are connected through symbolic methods and computations.
We are aiming at providing a stimulating platform for female researchers – networking is one of the main objectives of the workshop. This includes established female researches as well as Postdocs and graduate students. Male participants are very welcome and encouraged to attend.
Here are some impressions of the former conferences:

Applications
We encourage young female researchers (Ph.D. students or Postdocs) to apply to take part in the conference, by submitting a short application, CV (and, in case of Ph.D. students, a short statement of their supervisors.) via email to
barbara.ermisch(at)math.rptu.de
The main area of work should match one of the five core areas of our CRC and should be related to Computeralgebra.
The application deadline is September 30, 2026. The organizing committee consisting of Prof. Gunter Malle (Kaiserslautern), Prof. Hannah Markwig (Tübingen) and Prof. Gabriela Weitze-Schmithüsen (Saarbrücken) will decide on participation, which includes reimbursement of travel expenses (full via train within Germany, up to 300 EUR from outside Germany) and accomodation expenses.
