Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing
RCS PhD student Zartasha Mustansar, who is funded by a Microsoft-Dorothy-Hodgkin-Postgraduate-Award, is one of a few deserving applicants worldwide who have been selected to receive a full scholarship to attend the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, having secured separate contributions from the Association of Computing Machinery and Google.
The theme of the conference is "Creating Technology for Social Good" and is to be held in Tuscon, Arizona.
The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing is a series of conferences designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. Presenters are leaders in their respective fields, representing industrial, academic and government communities. Leading researchers present their current work, while special sessions focus on the role of women in today's technology fields, including computer science, information technology, research and engineering.
Past Grace Hopper Celebrations have resulted in collaborative proposals, networking, mentoring, and increased visibility for the contributions of women in computing.
