The third edition of the Women in ICT Standardisation Webinar presented by StandICT.eu, in coordination with 5 other EU-funded projects dedicated to accelerating European standardisation activities, addressed the key priorities outlined in the 2024 publication of the European Commission’s Annual Union Work Programme for European Standardisation (AUWP). The online session brought together leading women voices in the field of European standardisation to reinforce the relationship between standards, technology, and policy, while highlighting the gender gaps in the field of ICT standardisation and 8 policy priorities identified under the AUWP.

The speakers were selected based on their contributions to the development of standards across a variety of ICT domains, in addition to being ambassadors of diversity and inclusion in the ICT standardisation space. 

This webinar was not only an opportunity for women to demonstrate expertise in their specific discipline.  It provided a platform to share personal experiences about being a woman working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and captured insights and best practices to empower inclusion and promote equity in this male-dominated field.
