"Women in PASCAL"
"http://www.pascal-network.org/Network/Women%20In%20PASCAL/"
Launched by the European Network of Excellence PASCAL (Pattern Analysis, Statistical Modelling and Computational Learning), Organiser: Dunja Mladenic, Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana
We are all aware of the fact that in computer science and also in the area addressed by PASCAL Network of Excellence, most of the researchers are male. Content wise, there is no particular reason for that gender unbalanced situation that we can think of. The percentage of females is considerably under 40%, details can be found on this web site under Statistics. The gender dimension was viewed as a priority for attention within the network as a whole. Under the Balance and Integration Programme of the PASCAL network, there is a possibility to apply for funding for gender related actions.
SITCOM: "Simulating IT-Careers for wOMen"
