Women's ICT awards 2019

The ICT Women awards, organized by the Department of Digital Policies and Public Administration in the Women's ICT Plan, have the dual objective of recognizing the fundamental role of women in the professional, business and academic world of new technologies, and offer references to the girls and teenagers who doubt whether or not to devote themselves to the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines in the future.

These awards promote the access of women to the technological field, increase their presence, recognize the essential role of those that already belong to the ICT world and, ultimately, they encourage participation in the construction of the digital society with equality criteria.
