Workshop: Women in STEM - WSTEM
Speakers:
- Aneta Antova Pesheva
- Eliot Bytyci
- Marija Ristevska
- Afrodita Shalja
Scope:
Women are underrepresented in Informatics (Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computing, ICT) at all levels, from undergraduate and graduate studies to participation and leadership in academia and industry. Increasing female representation in the field is a grand challenge for academics, policymakers, and society as a whole. Although the problem is evident, progress has been invariably slow, in spite of all the momentum and impulse for change happening across Europe.
We are pleased to invite researchers interested in the gender balance issues and the effective inititatives for females in STEM to submit papers for the upcoming workshop titled “Women in STEM – WSTEM” and participate in WSTEM 2024.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Initiatives to engage female in STEM
- Retain female students in STEM
- Encourage female professionals to pursue PhD
- Support for females in STEM
