Women have been computer scientists and engineers for centuries. They continue to make essential contributions to the fields, from computer game development, network security, and machine learning, through to signal processing, and digital system design. While the number has improved, there’s still a long way to go to reach gender parity in STEM (i.e., science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
At University of Essex (UoE) and University Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M), we know that women have plenty to contribute to STEM. Without diversity there can be no innovation. Each of the universities have a group (women in CSEE and STEM for Girls UC3M, respectively) to support women across all levels of the university and to encourage girls to study STEM careers. Hence, joining forces and sharing experiences can help both universities and future YUFE institutions to have a future more inclusive and diverse in our STEM careers.
