COST ACTION CA19122

European Network For Gender Balance in Informatics

Women are underrepresented in Informatics at all levels, from undergraduate and graduate studies to participation and leadership in academia and industry. The main aim and objective of EUGAIN is to improve gender balance in Informatics at all levels through the creation of a European network of colleagues working on the forefront of the efforts for gender balance in Informatics in their countries and research communities.

From 2020 to 2024, EUGAIN offered a range of activities and grants to support mobility, collaboration, and capacity building within the scientific community. Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) fostered individual mobility and strengthened networks by enabling scientists to visit institutions or laboratories in other countries. Training Schools provided intensive training on new or emerging topics, primarily benefiting Early Career Investigators and PhD students. EUGAIN also supported the organization of meetings, workshops and conferences to promote its objectives. Additionally, ITC Conference Grants enabled early-career researchers from Inclusiveness Target Countries to attend international conferences, facilitating research collaboration and growth.
