Abstract:
Women are underrepresented in Informatics at all levels, from undergraduate and graduate studies to participation and leadership in academia and industry. The main aim and objective of EUGAIN, Cost Action CA19122, European Network For Gender Balance in Informatics is to improve gender balance in Informatics at all levels through the creation of a European network of colleagues working on the forefront of the efforts for gender balance in Informatics in their countries and research communities.

The narrative will start with a story of an unconventional journey full of prejudices towards the professorship as a means to elicit how important such an initiative is for our community.
