GROW@Dresden 2026

We are glad to announce that Dresden will host GROW@Dresden 2026, a Graduate and Research Opportunities conference aimed at students of underrepresented gender identities in mathematics, especially women.

This two-day conference will take place at Dresden University of Technology and is jointly organised with the mathematics community at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG).

Participants will gain insight into mathematical research, academic careers, and industry pathways, while connecting with a supportive network of faculty and researchers.

The conference is open to Bachelor’s and Master’s students from universities in Germany and neighbouring countries, including international students. Funding for hotel and/or travel costs can be requested during registration. Talks and panel discussions will be held in English, but many of the mentors, volunteers, and organisers will also be able to communicate in German and possibly other languages.

Advance registration is required for all interested students, whether or not they apply for funding. Registration closes on February 15 2026.
