Maths Week Ireland

Maths Week Ireland (MWI) is an annual all-island mathematics outreach initiative which takes place throughout Ireland each October. It was founded in 2006 by Waterford Institute of Technology staff members Eoin Gill and Sheila Donegan, and is a project of that institution's STEM outreach Centre for the Advancement of Learning of Maths, Science and Technology (CALMAST). Gill and Donegan continue to direct and run MWI.

Purpose
MWI is a partnership of over 50 organizations dedicated to promoting and celebrating mathematics across the island of Ireland, including universities, institutes of technology, colleges, museums, libraries, visitor centres, and other professional bodies. Maths Week Ireland is currently supported by the Irish Government’s Department of Education and Taighde Eireann, Research Ireland (formerly SFI), and the Northern Ireland government’s Department for the Economy and technology company AMD. Events are run by the participants with materials delivered online by Maths Week Ireland. Most schools run their own special activities. Maths Week is a nine-day event (a Saturday to the Sunday of the following weekend, inclusive) which always includes the 16th of October, the day in 1843 when William R. Hamilton discovered quaternions. of the Annals of Irish Mathematics & Mathematicians (AIMM), authored by Colm Mulcahy. Starting in 2016, MWI has also produced the annual Irish Maths Calendars which are also archived at the Maths Ireland site. ==Presenters==
