Throughout 2025, members of the EMS Mathematics Outreach and Engagement Committee will share their stories and insights with our community through a series of interviews. The Committee's mission is to show people why mathematics matters and how it is part of science, technology, and many other aspects of modern life. Through these interviews, we will learn about each member's work within the Committee and their vision for its future, alongside their personal experience in mathematics outreach. We begin our series with Katie Chicot, Chair of the Committee.
