Film Screening: CODE - Debugging the Gender Gap

Monday 11 Sept 2017, 12:00 → 14:00 Europe/Zurich

503/1-001 - Council Chamber (CERN)

WIT Steering Committee

The CODE documentary exposes the dearth of female and minority software engineers and explores the reasons for this gender gap.  CODE raises the question: what would work places and society gain from having more women and minorities code?

Join us for a screening of the CODE documentary in the council chamber, sponsored by the Diversity Office, followed by a light lunch, sponsored by the IT Department. The film will be in English with French subtitles.

The film is centred on the US but its messages and research are relevant for many countries, particularly Europe. Come along to continue the discussion!

Everyone is welcome, regardless of your coding experience, nationality or gender.
