Networking Networking Women (N2 Women) is a discipline-specific community for researchers in the communications and networking research fields. The main goal of N2 Women is to foster connections among the underrepresented women in computer networking and related research fields. N2 Women allows women to connect with other women who share the same research interests, who attend the same conferences, who face the same career hurdles, and who experience the same obstacles.

Do you, as a woman, often find yourself out-numbered in your computer science department or research group? Do you want to know how to network effectively? Perhaps you have good or bad experiences to share as a woman researcher, especially about how to balance work and life in academia. Are you in the early years of your career and interested in the greatest challenges and opportunities from a woman’s perspective or the challenges of the faculty career for women? If these topics interest you and/or you answered yes to one or more of the above questions, then come join us for the first Networking Networking Women (N2 Women) lunch at the ESWC 2015. We will discuss these topics plus others such as ‘attracting women in computing and computer science’ and ‘the barriers facing women to enter in a scientific career’.
