Aim of the SheCodes MeetUp
The SheCodes MeetUp is designed to foster personal interconnections and an informal and supportive environment where women from diverse STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – fields can connect, share, and inspire each other.
Our primary aim is to explore the pivotal factors that have positively influenced the decision to pursue studies or careers in AI, robotics, ICT, technology, and innovation. The initial moment and other motivations for staying in the field also remain at the forefront of our interest.
Any woman in the field can share her personal experience or even best practices implemented in her home institution or country. Through direct interactions, we aim to empower attendees and strengthen the network of women in STEM across Europe and beyond.
The immediate effect of this event, aimed mainly at establishing personal contacts and sharing positive stories, will be the collection of experiences and good practices that can serve at the personal, institutional and political level.
