1st Women in STEM Cyprus Forum to be held in Limassol on 8 October

Women in Tech® Cyprus and TechIsland are co-organising the first Women in STEM Cyprus Forum, scheduled to take place on 8 October, 2024, at the Kolla Cultural Factory in Limassol.

The event will be held under the auspices of His Excellency the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr. Nikos Christodoulides, aligning with the global celebration of Ada Lovelace Day. This significant day honors the contributions of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and aims to elevate their profiles in these fields.

The Women in STEM Cyprus Forum aims to create a dynamic and inclusive platform for dialogue, networking, and the empowerment of women and girls in STEM careers, regardless of age. The agenda includes a series of inspiring speeches and panel discussions with prominent speakers, including Gender Equality Commissioner Josie Christodoulou. Attendees can expect thought-provoking sessions on key topics, such as increasing female participation in STEM, retaining women in technology roles, advancing women into leadership positions, and supporting female entrepreneurs in accessing venture capital and scaling their businesses. Special workshops will cater to final-year students, university students, and women transitioning into tech from other industries or re-entering the workforce after a career break.

Entrance to the Forum and participation to the workshops is free with pre-registration. To register and learn more about the speakers and the overall agenda, please visit: https://womenintech-cyprus.org

Tanya Romanyukha, Director of Women in Tech® Cyprus and General Manager of TechIsland, remarked, "The Women in STEM Forum, coinciding with Ada Lovelace Day, stands as a powerful testament to the progress we've made and the journey ahead. Our mission is to inspire and empower more women to break barriers in the innovation economy, fostering a community where their potential is not just recognised but actively nurtured. We truly believe that together, we can shape a future where women lead in innovation, and every young girl sees a path for herself in STEM."
