3rd International EUGAIN Summer Training School: Gender & Sustainability

EUGAIN is a COST action that aims to improve gender balance in informatics by creating and strengthening a truly multicultural European network of academics working at the forefront of the efforts in their countries, institutions, and research communities. EUGAIN Summer Schools is one of the steps that EUGAIN has taken to achieve this goal. The theme of this year is Gender and Sustainability in Informatics. Two key concepts at the core of EUGAIN and of research at large. As such we will explore their many facets together with a group of international experts. Participants will have the opportunity to make connections on how to use this knowledge and skills and produce gender and sustainability sensitive studies in the field of informatics. We will share with the outcomes of EUGAIN as in the booklets produced so far, these will be great starting point for the practical work. Participants are in fact expected to work in groups and engage in practical hands-on activities led by keynote speakers to exchange and share ideas. Time is also allocated to discussing individual doctoral projects and research, especially about the role sustainability and gender have in informatics; in these sessions, researchers can share their research ideas, establish new collaborations, and get feedback from experts and peers. We invite doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to apply by sending their applications as specified below. The application is open to everyone interested in the topic of the Training School and working in the field of gender and/or sustainability studies in Informatics. Registration is free and includes participation in all lectures, social events, meals, and coffee breaks. Grants to support travel and accommodation are also available.
