Scholarship and Travel Grants for the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing 2002

2002年10月9日至12日，第四届格蕾丝·霍珀计算女性庆祝活动在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行。这次国际会议的特色是一些计算领域最成功的女性的演讲，就当前感兴趣的主题进行的技术演示，以及小组讨论、研讨会和技术创新论坛，以深入探讨计算领域的新问题。这笔赠款为大约75名计算机和相关领域的人员提供旅费和注册资金，否则他们将无法参加。GHC的目标之一是通过在年轻女性离开之前为她们提供支持，鼓励她们在计算机科学领域继续学习并留在这一领域。通过为他们提供参加GHC的机会，他们接触到了正在创造、改进和研究先进的计算机相关技术和科学的女性。GHC是一个不同寻常的会议，它强烈关注计算机领域的女性，是那些在该领域建立起来的人和其他职业生涯早期的人之间发展有价值的互动的极好场所。这笔赠款预计将直接影响与会者的职业生涯，并有助于扭转目前计算机行业女性人数不断下降的趋势。

EIA 0215799 Stevens, DeborahInstitute for Women and Technology TITLE: Scholarship and Travel Grants for the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing 2002On October 9-12, 2002, the fourth Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) is being held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This international conference features talks by some of the most successful women in computing, technical presentations on topics of current interest, as well as panels, workshops, and technology innovation forums for an in-depth look at new issues in computing. This grant provides travel and registration funding for approximately seventy-five people in computing and related fields who otherwise would not be able to attend. The grants are awarded to advanced undergraduate and graduate students.One of the goals of GHC is to encourage women to pursue and stay in the field of computer science by providing support for young women before they leave the pipeline. By providing opportunities for them to attend GHC, they are exposed to women who are creating, improving, and studying advanced computer related technologies and sciences. GHC is an unusual conference that focuses strongly on women in computing and is an excellent venue for worthwhile interactions to develop between those established in the field and others early in their careers. This grant is expected to directly affect the careers of the attendees and to help to reverse the current trend showing declining numbers of women in computing.
