Women and computer science - access to the information society

Objective

Many studies on the relationship between women and computer science point out the limited feminine presence in this field and a considerable gap between information technologies and the world of women. If equal opportunities with regard to technological innovations are not achieved soon, the problem will reach worrying proportions because changes in the early 1990s are more substantial than any others that have ever taken place in the history of computer science. This aim of this project is to develop new training systems and materials for women in the field of new technology.

Sociological surveys will analyse gender differences in terms of behaviour, attitudes and ways of learning with regard to information technologies. The results of this research will be reworked for integration into written reports, audiovisual supports and world wide webpages in Italian and English. A final workshop will be organised bringing the researchers involved in the project together with training managers and information technology specialists.

Impact
This project will change the way information technology training for women is organised and delivered. It will accordingly improve women's access to many new jobs in a changing world.
