GGD e Google
Alexandra Alecu, Software Engineer di Google, racconta sul blog che anche la grande società di cui fa parte è sempre alla ricerca di opportunità di collaborare con organizzazioni che promuovono la diversità e incoraggiano la partecipazione professionale delle donne nella tecnologia.
Come saprete, le Girl Geek Dinners sono un’iniziativa internazionale che fa esattamente questo: ospitare eventi “social” per promuovere il networking tra donne e costruire community con la stessa passione per la tecnologia e altri settori tradizionalmente dominati dagli uomini.
L’interesse da parte di Google si è recentemente manifestato con la sponsorizzazione della Girl Geek Dinner di Amsterdam, dove il relatore principale è stato il famoso matematico (donna) Smeets Ionica.
Google e le GGD condividono o stesso obiettivo: rendere possibile a tutti intraprendere una carriera nel campo della tecnologia, indipendentemente dal sesso. Durante il suo intervento, Alexandra ha delineato le numerose iniziative per promuovere e sostenere la diversità nella tecnologia. Ci sono vari programmi di borse di studio per aiutare gli studenti a perseguire i loro interessi ed incoraggiare più donne ad intraprendere la carriera scientifica, assistendo e partecipando a conferenze di ricerca in tutto il mondo attraverso sovvenzioni per eventi in Europa, Medio Oriente e Africa [info qui].
E in Italia? Quando vedremo Google come main sponsor di una delle nostre cene geek?

My boss, Ann, started Weight Watchers several weeks ago and she’s doing great, achieving 2 awesome milestones. She’s definitely inspired me to get back into it.But then…
