CLAIRE X NoEs AQuA: Women in AI

CLAIRE X NoEs AQuA: Women in AI

6 March 2024 | 16:00 – 17:00 CET | ONLINE

The CLAIRE All Questions Answered (AQuA) Series continues with a collaborative online discussion involving the AI Networks of Excellence (NoEs) – this time featuring great Women in AI in the spotlight!

Women account for less than 25% of AI specialists. Let’s shine a light on some of the excellent female researchers in the AI field, their successes, but also some of the obstacles they face as workers in this male-dominated field.

We will explore some of the pivotal stages and points in the careers of women when deciding and working in the area of AI, thus both early-stage female researchers as well as established female leaders in the AI field will be ready to answer all of the questions.

Join us for one hour online and don’t be shy – all questions will be answered!

This event is organised under CLAIRE by CLAIRE | Prague, CLAIRE | Zurich, VISION and Networks of Excellence Centres (NoEs), in particular:

What AQuAs are all about

Inspired by Turing Award winner Donald E. Knuth’s All Questions Answered lecture, CLAIRE All Questions Answered Events (AQuAs) are relaxed, 1 hour, online events that bring together a small group of panelists to discuss current hot topics in AI and beyond and answer questions from the community.

Usually held via Zoom Webinar for CLAIRE members and members of co-hosting organisations, the events are live streamed to the CLAIRE YouTube channel, allowing the community at large to get involved and be a part of the discussion.

Panels are generally made up of representatives of large European research organisations in the topic being focused on, as well as experts from both academia and industry.

Previous AQuAs have been focused on topics such as Humanoid Robotics and European Excellence in AI.
