International Girls in ICT Day 2026 - “AI for Development: Girls shaping the digital future” 23 Abril, Covilhã
Venue: Health Science Faculty from Universidade da Beira Interior (Green Amphiteatre)
Let’s celebrate Girls in ICT Day: “AI for Development: Girls shaping the digital future”?
On April 23rd, Universidade da Beira Interior will gather together former and current students of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Informatics Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Bioengineering, among many other related fields, aiming to bring the academic and non-academic experiences in the engineering world to the female students, trying to increase the number of girls interested in this area. Secondary school students (girls and boys) are also invited.
The idea is to join together former and current students and discuss professional path endeavours in a changing and challenging world, how one can make family and profession development compatible, and how IEEE can help young professionals to better contribute to their career development and unite the world.
