In an article Equity in Action: Experiencing EAAMO ’24 in Mexico, our director of communications Rhea Tibrewala highlights the transformative impact of hosting the EAAMO 2024 conference in San Luis Potosí, the first time the event was held outside the United States. The conference fostered meaningful collaborations between global researchers and local communities, featuring initiatives like the REDNACECYT Summer of Science Program and a Social Hackathon focused on breast cancer.

The EAAMO’s Executive Director Sera Linardi, Augustin Chaintreau, Gabriel Agostini, and Renzhe Yu led the organization of NYC series of meetups that took place on November 7, 2024, December 12, 2024, and January 31, 2025.

These gatherings brought together researchers, practitioners, and advocates to explore interdisciplinary topics at the intersection of equity, access, and computational tools. Featured participants included Matt Franchi, Ian Solano-Kamaiko, and Nikhil Garg, who contributed to vibrant discussions on innovative approaches to tackling societal challenges. The meetups created a collaborative space for exchanging ideas and building partnerships, further strengthening the local EAAMO community in New York City.
