5th Workshop on Women* in Computing
Finding Balance – Juggling Obligations, Working Domains, Work & Life

Women in Computing 5 - Teaser Image

Thursday, May 7th or Friday, May 8th, 2026 in Berlin


After overwhelmingly positive feedback to our fourth event last year, we are delighted to announce the fifth Workshop on Women* in Computing!

In this half-day workshop, we focus on how to find balance, which includes balance between work and life, (mental) health, and juggling multiple obligations. We have invited a selected number of successful researchers from industry and academia who will take the stage to share their perspectives and unique insights into their careers and research domains. With this event, we aim to foster mentorship in career development for young (female) researchers by establishing and strengthening a network of Women* in Computing.

This is an event about, from and with women in computing, but by no means exclusively "for" them. All are welcome!

Agenda

The workshop will start at 11:45. More details will be announced soon!
