Informatica Feminale – the 16th international summer university for women students and professionals in Informatics was organized by University of Bremen from August 26 to September 6 in 2013.
Around 200 women students of all disciplines, all terms and grades, of all types of colleges or universities as well as women professionals and women learners interested in computing and women IT professionals from all over the world came to Bremen!
They experienced two weeks of professional studies and established a network with women having manifold backgrounds in a friendly and stimulating environment at the University of Bremen.
Courses were taught with one-week and half-a-week length, as well as short workshops. There were specific courses for student beginners as well as for advanced students and for practitioners who got further education on a current academic level.
A JobForum with international companies and a talks from recruiting officers was presented on Wednesday, August 28, 2013. Several local IT companies invited participants to networking events.
Last but not least sports and the networking party with current participants and alumni offered a perfect stay in Bremen.
Thanks to everybody who advises women students or colleagues to take part at our summer universities and who supports them financially.
