March 8th, 2023. 9.30am – 1pm, Watts Building 507, University of Brighton

As we approach International Women’s Day, we are reminded of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the need for continued action to break down barriers and biases that prevent women across the globe from fully participating in society. Women face unique challenges in accessing and utilizing technology, and the objectives of digital research and innovation are often skewed toward gendered outcomes.  Yet it remains rare to see intervention in gender inequality prioritised.

Please book a place here if you are planning to attend as a speaker or audience member:
