CALL TO TAKE PART<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Conference Theme: Bridging Communities to Foster Innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an increasingly technology-driven world and a rapidly changing economic environment, computing field’s innovation and creativity cannot be cherished to its full potential if it is formed by homogeneous expertise, represented unevenly only by a fraction of the population. To foster innovation, we shall stop compartmentalizing scientific progress by disciplines, and encourage innovation across boundaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s ACM womENcourage\u2122 2021 is celebrating all attempts to bridge communities to foster innovation. We are celebrating bridges built across boundaries of disciplines, boundaries between industry and academia, as well as boundaries among homogeneous communities, inviting individuals of all genders, nationalities and ages to co-create together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite all participants to contribute to the program of the womENcourage\u2122 2021 celebration through posters<\/strong>, workshops <\/strong>and tutorials<\/strong>, panel discussions<\/strong> as well as inspiring keynote talks<\/strong> on any topic expanding the computing innovation via fusion with other disciplines and communities, together with insights on empowering individuals from underrepresented groups within the computing community, especially women but not only them, and celebrate the diverse talent they are bringing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that womENcourage does not publish proceedings<\/strong>, instead it makes the contributions available at the conference website to promote the visibility of the presented work<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Posters provide womENcourage\u2122 participants with an opportunity to present their work, benefit from insightful feedback and discussion, exchange knowledge and establish collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome poster submissions from all areas of computer science and computational sciences. As the theme of this year is \u201cBridging Communities to Foster Innovation<\/strong>\u201d we would like to encourage the authors to stress in their submissions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
