Today, only 15% of Informatics students are female, while the overall percentage of females enrolled at Italian universities is more than 55%. The aim of the Ada Web Portal we present in this paper is to facilitate communication and to share experiences between women (students, teachers, and professionals) working in the IT area.File in questo prodotto:
