2022 Minerva Informatics Equality Award
There are two winners of the 2022 Minerva Informatics Equality Award celebrating successful initiatives that have had a measurable impact on the careers of women in informatics research and education (click here for the 2022 Call for submissions).
This year, the Award was given to the Gender-equality Committee at IRISA and the Anti-harassment Committee at Inria, both Research Centers of University of Rennes (France), and Faculty of Informatics, TU Wien (Austria), for their achievements in developing the careers of female faculty, including retention and promotion. The Minerva Award, organised by Informatics Europe and sponsored by Google, was presented during the 18th European Computer Science Summit (ECSS 2022), an in-person event in Hamburg, Germany.
