Latin American Women in Computing (LAWC)

September, 23th 2009

In its first edition, LAWC 2009 is a satellite event of CLEI - Conferência Latino-Americana de Informática (Latin American Conference on Informatics), which is a conference promoted by the Centro Latinoamericano de Estudios en Informática (Latin American Center of Studies on Informatics) in association with Sociedade Brasileira de Computação (Brazilian Computing Society).
The main goal of this workshop is to give support and to incentivize women to choose a career in computing areas.
The workshop is organized in two talks, a panel and a round table, where we will discuss the problems related to the challenges for women in the market, the insertion of women in the various fields of computing, and how women conciliate their professional career, personal life and their family.
