Open to all genders, womENcourage is an initiative of ACM-W Europe and aims to connect women from diverse technical disciplines and encourage them to pursue their education and profession in computing.
This year’s Conference Theme is: Drawing New Lines in Science
ACM womENcourage 2022 recognises that both the Arts and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) share a focus on creative thinking, problem solving and experiential, immersive learning. The integration of Arts in Science and Technology makes it more accessible, promotes conceptual understanding, facilitates enquiry learning and makes the learning experience more engaging. Combining the Arts with STEM by promoting a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach to the event reinforces the encouraging nature of this event. We invite individuals in STEAM disciplines and all those interested in the design, development, and use of technology and how it relates to the field of the Arts, to join our celebration in an attempt to overcome boundaries by drawing new lines in science!
We are very excited to announce that this year’s womENcourage will be hosting a Lightning Talks session!
DURING THE CONFERENCE, THE SESSION WILL BE STREAMED ONLINE AND SIMULTANEOUSLY ON THE CONFERENCE VENUE’S VIDEOWALL!
ACM womENcourage 2022 is proud to announce a new Lightning Talks session that will be hosted online in the spirit of this year’s hybrid presence event. The link will be available to all registered participants of womENcourage 2022. Simultaneously, the session will be streamed on the videowall in the main hall are of this year’s conference venue.
We are inviting students and professionals to present their Computing or STEAM-related project in a short 3-5 minute video that will be streamed online during the event both physically (on the videowall at the event) and virtually (using an online web space). The lightning talk speakers are asked to join us online so that they can be available to answer questions at the end of the lightning talks session.
This is a great opportunity for both students and professionals to present their work and network with other students and professionals of similar interests brought together by ACM womENcourage.
All accepted lightning talks will receive a 35% discount to the womENcourage 2022 registration fees and will receive a participation certificate.
