IT Girls :: Gender Workshop
Workshop "More women, better jobs and boosting growth"
8 October 2009, Brussels
In the midst of the economic crisis, the ICT sector is still growing! It is now the time to prepare for the future and ensure that when the crisis is over, the sector will have the necessary resources to respond to new challenges. This Conference/Gender workshop aimed to take stock of the progress made and present new initiatives and actions. Brainstorming sessions were also organised to work towards setting up a new agenda for Women in ICT.
Commissioner Reding has launched the Directory of Women in ICT, an interactive platform which brings together all relevant initiatives and information as well as provides a European network of women in the sector. The Commissioner has also presented the new signatories of The Code of Best Practices for women in ICT.
