Date: 27.02.25, 14:30-17:45

The workshop aspires to raise the awareness of our research community on gender sensitive issues in the computer science field. We are pleased to host Prof. Letizia Jaccheri, ACM distinguished speaker, for the keynote, who will present how feminist principles can be applied in software engineering for more inclusive software design. We will further elaborate on research and policy initiatives that have been developed by FORTH-ICS. We will raise questions and trigger the discussion during this 3-hour event. We kindly invite you to participate. The event will be held in English.
