In early September, our COST Action, EUGAIN, held a highly successful training school in Airolo, Switzerland, as part of the project’s final activities and before its conclusion in October 2024.
The event brought together 35 participants from 15 countries, including PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. The goal of the training school, like all EUGAIN activities, was to advance gender balance in Informatics by fostering a multicultural European network of academics who are leading efforts in their respective institutions, countries, and research communities.
Among the keynote speakers was Dympna O’Sullivan, one of Informaitcs Europe’s Board Directors and Chair of IE’s Ethics Working Group. She shared, “At TU Dublin, we have been proud to collaborate with partner institutions across Europe through EUGAIN. The project has compiled a wealth of resources on best practices from higher education, industry, and society, all aimed at improving gender balance in Informatics in both academia and industry.”
