Dear Participants, Lecturers, and Friends of the Summer Universities 2024,
we look back on the 27th International Summer University Informatica Feminale for Women in Computer Science/Informatics. It took place at the University of Bremen in Germany from 14th to 29th August 2024.
Our thanks…
As organizer team we give special thanks to our lecturers for their teaching with full engagement and collegiality.
We were very pleased with the greeting and the warm, committed speech of Katharina Kunze, deputy State Women’s Representative of the Freie Hansestadt Bremen.
We were equally pleased with the interested and exchange-oriented participants who traveled to Bremen and actively participated in courses, excursions, discussions and the plenary session. Thank you very much for your support, networking and ideas!
We are especially pleased, that many grants could be given to student participants for the stay in Bremen.
Thank you so much to our sponsors who again supported us to realize some core elements of personal encounter for participants and lecturers.
Last but not least we want to thank our student assistants in Bremen. Whether in the conference office or in the cafeteria, you were a top team!

Our look back…
60 courses, each lasting several days, were offered on current specialist topics and interdisciplinary subjects. The wide range of teaching topics was aimed at women students and professionals in technical sciences as well as students of all subjects. There were basics and special topics in engineering, computer science, interdisciplinary topics as well as offers relating to studies, jobs and careers. The courses were very popular.
On place in Bremen, lecturers and participants could visit an extensive social program.

Our preview…
We are looking forward to receive your evaluations and further wishes or hints.
In 2025 we will emphasize the personal encounter with physical courses in Bremen. The summer university will be organized from 20 August to 4 September 2025 at Bremen University. It will be our main activity. We always welcome new lecturers with new topics. The course program is expected to be available in May 2025.
Additionally again, we will arrange a smaller ‘meantime’ online course program during the whole year 2025. We as organizers hope to comply with needs of lecturers and participants, as well as to strengthen again the core elements of teaching and learning with physical, personal meeting.
The women´s network Informatica Feminale is a place to exchange about technical and social developments, which we meet in our every-day life and which are designed by ourselves as technical experts. The Summer University wants to give space and time for critical reflections and highly welcomes experimental debates on the relations of technological knowledge and developments in societies. We especially offer teaching, which deal with applications of technical know-how in spaces for work and life (for example within care, education, health, food, household, mobility, social networking, publicity, sports, militarization, etc.) from feminist perspectives.
All, who want to receive information about future Summer Universities, are invited to subscribe to our mailing list. Please send an email to if@informatica-feminale.de.
Companies with gender sensible organizational concepts and successful personal management strategies to promote women engineers to a broad spectrum of leading positions are invited to present their best practices to the participants of Informatica Feminale. There will be plenty of other opportunities to sponsor.
We invite you all to partcipate and look forward to welcoming you next summer in Bremen!
Greetings
Henrike Illig and Veronika Oechtering
