This paper is mainly based on discussions in working groups and the material collected for and during a series of talks on the topic held by the first author and by feedback received by the community. This paper provides the academic community, policymakers, industry and other stakeholders with numerous examples of best practices, as well as studies and recommendations on how to address key challenges about attracting, retaining, encouraging, and inspiring women to pursue a career in Computer Science. The paper was presented at the 22nd International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing (SYNASC) and has been partially supported by the COST Action CA19122 – European Network for Gender Balance in Informatics (EUGAIN).

What does it mean to do experiments in Informatics? Does it make sense to 'import' traditional principles of experimentation from classical disciplines into the field of computing and information processing? How should experiments be documented? These and other questions and recommendations are carefully discussed.
