LAWCC
X Latin American Women in Computing Congress
The X LAWCC will be held as part of XLIV CLEI. Its main objective is to highlight the research, interests, and achievements of women in the various areas of computing, with the intention of encouraging the active participation of more women. The paper presentations will hopefully help to identify the challenges women face in the area of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), teaching, labor market and research. LAWCC seeks ways to address recurrent problems related to gender and foster dialogue with society on these matters.
