Welcome to a free one-day workshop for celebrating women studying and working in computing! Alice & Eve aims to bring together talents in the field of computing. The sixth edition of this workshop will be hosted on 31 October 2025 by the University of Groningen. Alice and Eve event is inspired by the BCS Lovelace Colloquium that started in 2008. The program of the workshop is to be announced.
Poster Contest
During the event there is a 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 are
-
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.
Jobs Board
During the conference, there will be the possibility for attendees to advertise open positions in their university/company. Furthermore, participants looking for jobs are also welcome to post their credentials and type of job/internship they are looking for. There rules about job postings can be found here.
Registration
The registration is free and includes coffee breaks, lunch and drinks. We welcome everyone of all genders, from bachelor students to full professors, to attend the event.
