Seminars of Innovation and Research in Informatics

If you are a WOMAN and you study a master's degree or do a doctorate in degrees in the field of computing, come to the Barcelona Grad Cohort Workshop. On October 18th and 19th, 2018, the first Grad Cohort Workshop outside the USA will take place in Barcelona, organized by the Facultat d'Informàtica de Barcelona (FIB) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and the Comissió de Gènere Dones-COEINF del Col·legi Oficial d'Enginyeria en Informàtica de Catalunya. This first edition is linked to the act of investiture of Mrs. Margaret Hamilton as doctor honoris causa by the UPC. He was the one who defined the term "software engineering" when working on NASA's Apollo missions. The Grad Cohort Workshop began in the USA in 2004. They are meetings of women students of master's or doctorate in the field of information technology. The aim of these meetings is to contribute to the visibility of women in our technological field, to offer the participants the different professional perspectives, to create a networking space and to encourage women not to leave the sector.

Look the agenda

Radical Networks is a conference that celebrates the free and open Internet, with hands-on workshops, speakers, and a gallery exhibiting artworks centered around radio and networking technology. It fosters critical discussion on contemporary issues that include surveillance, the spread of misinformation, ownership of personal data, and the increasing opacity of "The Cloud". Radical Networks is also an arts festival that considers networking technology as an artistic medium, featuring works that run the gamut from ethical hacks to creative experiments to live performances. This event brings together artists, activists, community organizers, journalists, technologists, educators, and the public, to exchange ideas and look under the hood of what makes the Internet work. Radical Networks is in its fourth year and is the first festival and conference of its kind in the United States. This year we are expanding the event to Berlin, Germany from October 19-21, 2018.
