Women in ACM/IEEE WICE Luncheon
October 6th, 12:30 - 14:15
Edifici Vertex, Campus Nord UPC
We are excited to invite you to the Women in ACM/IEEE WICE Luncheon at ACM NanoCom 2022! This event is supported by IEEE Communications
Society (ComSoc) Women in Communications Engineering (WICE). This luncheon event will bring together local and international
women researchers at all stages of their careers to foster collaboration, networking, and mentoring. Everyone is welcome to join us!
This event will mark the launch of the Barcelona ACM-W Chapter which supports, celebrates, and advocates for the full engagement of women
in all aspects of the computing field.
A roundtable discussion will follow the launch with an esteemed set of speakers at different stages in their careers who will share their
experiences on the benefits of networking and how to build your own network. We hope that this event will be an opportunity for junior
researchers to start networking and strengthens the efforts for diversity and inclusion in the NanoCom community.
While the details of the final program are still to be finalized, we expect the event to be broken down in two main activities:
