How to Read This Book: Personas Guiding Through EUGAIN Results

Kapitel i bok, 2025

Welcome to the summary of the results of the EUGAIN project. Many researchers have poured their hearts into this COST Action project. A COST Action is a network building activity funded by the European Union. As such, the contributions in this book present a Euro-centric view from all corners of Europe—the Nordics (for example, Sweden and Norway), the South (for example, Italy and Albania), the East (for example, Turkey and Romania), and the West (for example, Portugal and France).
From the outset, we knew that women are underrepresented in Informatics at all levels, from undergraduate and graduate studies to participation and leadership in academia and industry. The main aim and objective of EUGAIN was to improve gender equity in Informatics at all levels through the creation of a European network of colleagues working at the forefront of the efforts for gender equity in Informatics in their countries and research communities. In the last four years, we have created a community of researchers who care about equality, equity, inclusion, diversity, and accessibility. We present our findings and insights in this book.
