Why diversity is not enough? (Meetup, Free)

October 23rd, 6pm - 8pm, DevPlant

How Big Data focused research could enhance the level of female integration in STEM? We'll find out this month, at our fresh Big Data Meetup edition.

Despite improvements, women in STEM are still facing more challenges than their male colleagues: they earn less, have access to less funding, are less likely to be promoted, and their work receives less acknowledgment. These disparities persist, despite evidence that integrated female members increase the overall intelligence of teams and gender heterogeneous teams are more creative and productive.

Recent years scandals in the tech industry brought attention to women’s marginalization in STEM.
