In most Western countries, female students are only 20% of the total population in computer science studies. The exhibition and symposium ‘Alice & Eve: a celebration of women in computing’ was held on the 24th of January at the University of Twente, to counter this imbalance. Its main purpose is to highlight the achievements of women in computer science, and as such provide role models to female students. The planned tour across the Netherlands has been postponed to next year, due to Corona. You don’t need to wait till next year to learn more about the event. For more information we refer to the website and to the SEFI conference on 21-24th of September 2020 where the organisers, professors Marieke Huisman, Mariëlle Stoelinga, programme director Alma Schaafstal and PhD candidate Sophie Lathouwers, all computer scientists at the UT, and Niels van Huizen, master student PSTS, will present a paper on the exhibition and symposium and how well these were received.
