Celebrations of Women in Computing

ACM-W sponsors annual celebrations focused on women in computing. The Celebrations in Europe can be broken down broadly into two headings. The first is the ACM Celebration of Women in Computing: womENcourage which is the flagship event for the ACM-W Europe. The second category is the regional celebrations.

The ACM Celebration of Women in Computing: womENcourage is held in a different country each year to encourage participation across Europe and from adjoining countries. The most recent womENcourage event was hosted by ADA University with 17 countries represented across 5 continents. The event was originally due to be held at the university but due to health concerns regarding the recent Coronavirus disease 2019 a decision was made to host the event as a virtual event.
