Gender disparity remains a challenge in academia, particularly in STEM and related disciplines such as mathematical finance. While progress has been made, women continue to be underrepresented in senior academic and research positions. In this context, the Mathematics Section of the Department of MEMOTEF at Sapienza University of Rome is pleased to host the first edition of the Women in Mathematical Finance Workshop (WMFW2026), which will take place on 12–13 February 2026 at the Faculty of Economics, Sapienza University of Rome. Workshop goals: Promote the visibility and role of women in mathematical finance Provide a platform for mentorship and academic exchange Encourage early-career researchers to showcase their work Program highlights: Seven keynote lectures by internationally renowned female scholars Call for Papers addressed to early-career female researchers (PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, research fellows) who will present short talks Research topics include, but are not limited to: stochastic analysis, optimal control, financial market modeling, portfolio optimization, and data science in quantitative finance.
