Europe is still accepting nominations
for the second Minerva Informatics Equality Award
devoted to initiatives which seek to encourage and
support the careers of women in Informatics research
and education. The second of this annual award will be
presented in October 2017 and is sponsored by Google.
The
Informatics Europe Minerva Informatics Equality Award
recognizes best practices in Departments or Faculties
of European universities or research labs that have
been demonstrated to have a positive impact for women.
On a three-year cycle the award will focus each year
on a different stage of the career pipeline:
The
2017 Award is devoted to initiatives supporting the
transition of female PhD and postdoctoral researchers
into faculty positions.
The
Award seeks to celebrate successful initiatives that
have had a measurable impact on the careers of women
within the institution. Such initiatives can serve as
exemplars of best practices within the community, with
the potential to be widely adopted by other
institutions. Nominations will need to demonstrate the
impact that has been achieved.
For
2017 examples of impact could include an improved
career development and better agreements on career
planning for female PhD students and postdocs as
recorded in objective surveys of staff experience, and
increasing numbers of female faculty.
The Award carries a prize
of EUR 5,000
The
Award will be given to a Department or Faculty to be
used for further work on supporting the transition of
female PhD or post-docs to faculty positions. To be
eligible, nominated institutions must be located in
one of the member or candidate member countries of the
Council
of Europe, or Israel. Institutions associated with
members of the Informatics Europe Board and of the
Award panel are not eligible.
