2nd International EUGAIN Summer Training School: Research Recharge

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 Research Recharge. Research Recharge will focus on research methodology and soft skills essential to support and foster gender studies in Informatics. Participants will develop knowledge, skills, and competencies about qualitative and quantitative research methodology; thus, while the participants gain knowledge, skills, and competencies in designing a study, they will also have the opportunity to make connections on how to use this knowledge and skills in gender and gender sensitive studies in the field of informatics. In addition, they will be more aware of methodological limitations, familiarize themselves with the process leading to article submission, and better understand the importance and role of soft skills. They are expected to work in groups and engage with data sets produced by EUGAIN existing studies and initiatives 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 gender and gender-sensitive studies in informatics; in these sessions, researchers can share their research ideas, establish new collaborations, and get feedback from experts and peers. We invite PhD students and young 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 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.
