From August 12 to 30, 2019 the University of Bremen in Germany will host the 22nd International Summer University for Women in Computing, the Informatica Feminale. Every year the Informatica Feminale offers compact teachings in computing and ICT for women students of all types from universities and colleges as well as for women professionals interested in further training. The processes of entering higher education, developing a student career, transitioning into the labour market and lifelong academic learning are given equal attention.
The focus in 2019 is “Women’s Network – Feminist Networking!” The women’s network Informatica Feminale is a place for exchanging ideas about technical and social developments, which we encounter in our everyday life and which we design as technical experts. The focus for 2019 aims to provide space and time for critical reflections and welcomes experimental debates on the relations of technological knowledge and developments in societies. We will offer courses that deal with the application of technical know-how in spaces for work and life from feminist perspectives.
Courses will be taught in English and German. For further information, please visit the Informatica Feminale website.
