‘Women in Tech’ focus of lecture series

A lunchtime lecture series featuring some of the country’s top female IT brains will take place in Cork in the hope it will encourage more women into technology, science, and engineering.

A 2012 World Economic Forum Corporate Gender Gap Report reported that a lack of role models remains one of the greatest barriers to increasing the number of women leaders.

The Women in Tech lunchtime series, run by it@cork European Tech Cluster, is hoping to change that by increasing the visibility of “talented women in the ICT sector”.
