01|17|2005: Strategies of Inclusion: Gender and the Information Society (SIGIS)
For a long time there has been a concern that women are excluded from computers and thus from the information society. Still, women are relatively absent from computer science and the design of ICT products. However, there are important changes going on: the transformation of ICTs and their penetration into the home, education and the workplace means the level of use of computers, the internet, mobiles phones and other systems by women and men is converging. Moreover, in many European countries this is the result of explicit public and private initiatives to include women. rcss.ed.ac.uk

In 2002, the DJI project "Gender mainstreaming in child and youth services" was assigned by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth in Germany to provide the scientific monitoring of services implementing the concept.
Initial results of the monitoring show that the new gender mainstreaming principle has triggered internal discussions of gender issues among the services at a number of levels, from their organisational structure to human resources to expert activities.

10|2004: update of the webpage of WWW-ICT
Why are there so few women among the professionals of information and communication technology (ICT)? What are the barriers to women choosing and developing careers in ICT professions, and what changes are likely to improve their access and position in this labour market? This European project (Information Society Technologies, 5th Framework Programme) hinges on the development of an integrated approach to the different aspects of gender disparity in the ICT professions. Research teams in seven European countries have carried out in-depth empirical studies. They suggest targeted recommendations for agents of change in this area. The finale synthesis report and more information on the project objectives can be found on the updated website and in the downloadable presentation leaflets, available in English , French , Italian , German (PDF format).
