Welcome to our free one-day workshop for celebrating women studying and working in computing! Alice & Eve aims to bring together talents in the field of computing. This year, the workshop is coming to Germany for the first time.

Poster Contest

We invite all female students (Bachelor/Master/PhD) and early career researchers of computing and related subjects (in the broadest sense) to submit a poster. The poster could be on any computing topic they like: from social networking to quantum computing and from medical image processing to formal verification.

Exhibition

In addition to the keynote talks and the posters, there will be an exhibition which portrays thirty women in computing and their most important contributions.

Some highlights of the exhibition:

  • Ada Lovelace who is known for her work on the sign of the ‘Analytics Machine’, the first ever general-purpose computer, and the first published algorithm;
  • Grace Hopper who created the world’s first workable compiler and the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, an annual conference;
  • The Bletchley Park Codebreakers included approximately 8,000 women, known as the “Bletchleyettes,” whose crucial code-breaking efforts during World War II, including operating cryptographic machinery and breaking complex codes, remain largely unrecognized due to the enduring secrecy of their work.

More information can be found at the exhibition booklet.
