Increasing Diversity in Mathematical & Related Sciences

Overview

Increasing Diversity in Mathematical & Related Sciences (IDMS) 2026 is a 5-day Summer School organized by the Canadian Math Society’s Women in Math Committee. We plan to bring together a diverse group of undergraduate students from Canadian universities who identify as women, or other underrepresented gender-identities. This is an inspiring week of learning new math from influential women and gender-diverse mathematicians, and collaborating with peers from across the country!  You also get to connect professionally and socially, build networks among your academic peers and instructors. We offer a challenging academic program, as well as professional development sessions and panel discussions with a focus on how to meet challenges faced by women and other underrepresented gender-identities in the mathematical sciences.
