ICT and women: biases - how to detect and overcome?
When it comes to women in ICT sector, the numbers show the inequalities. Yet, there are so many who refer to arguments that are irrelevant and show biased thinking.

In the workshop we don’t focus only on bias detection, but also on practical solutions on how to overcome them.
Come and think along!
