Embracing Diversity in STEM @Uni Wien
The full-day event Embracing Diversity in STEM highlights leading researchers and emphasizes the importance of diversity across various dimensions (culture, gender, LGBTQ+, and disabilities). February 18, 2025, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, in the Main Ceremonial Hall. Registration is open until February 12, 2025.
Informatica Feminale – Summerschool
The Informatica Feminale was established in 1997. It serves as a space for professional exchange and aims to achieve the sustainable professional integration of female experts in Informatics / Computer Science and ICT. The Informatica Feminale is a place for experimentation and intends to imply new impulses in Informatics (Computer Science).
