IE Applauds EUGAIN's Outstanding Evaluation on Gender Balance
Informatics Europe is proud to announce the successful completion of the EUGAIN project (European Network for Gender Balance in Informatics), a landmark COST Action dedicated to advancing gender balance across the field of Informatics in Europe.
In its final review by European Commission experts, EUGAIN received an overall excellent rating for COST Action evaluation—an exceptional recognition of the network’s dedication and impact. Key outcomes include research papers, policy recommendations, and practical guidelines that set the groundwork for institutions to incorporate gender and diversity studies into Informatics programs. EUGAIN has also established a vital platform for historically underrepresented populations in Informatics to take the stage and have an academic voice at international conferences and workshops. These achievements have laid the foundation for ongoing progress across academia and industry.
Informatics Europe extends its sincere gratitude to all those involved in the project, with special thanks to our former WIRE Working Group (now the Diversity and Inclusion Working Group) for initiating EUGAIN and serving as a major driving force behind its success; the action chairs, professors Letizia Jaccheri (NTNU, Norway) and Barbora Buhnova (Masaryk University, Czech Republic), as well as much of the core leadership group originated from WIRE. Informatics Europe is honoured to have supported this Action as a grant holder.
We invite all institutions committed to advancing gender balance in Informatics to explore EUGAIN's outcomes and join our Diversity and Inclusion Working Group, where together, we can build on the legacy of EUGAIN and further promote inclusivity in the field.
