Call open for first Minerva Informatics Equality Award
Informatics Europe launches the Minerva Informatics Equality Award, a new award that recognizes best practices in Departments or Faculties of European universities and research labs that encourage and support the careers of women in Informatics research and education.
On a three-year cycle, the award will focus each year on a different stage of the career pipeline:
- Developing the careers of female faculty
- Supporting the transition for PhD and postdoctoral researchers into faculty positions
- Encouraging female students to enroll in Computer Science/Informatics programmes and retaining them.
The 2016 Award is devoted to gender equality initiatives and policies to develop the careers of female faculty. It seeks to celebrate successful initiatives that have had a measurable impact on the careers of women within the institution.
The 2016 Minerva Informatics Equality Award is sponsored by Google and will be presented during the 12th European Computer Science Summit (ECSS 2016) in Budapest, Hungary, October 2016.
