The long term goal of the Women in Robotics workshop series is to reduce the gender gap by increasing the number of women in robotics. The workshops are designed for a mixed audience and highlight the work of successful female roboticists.
As in prior versions, the Women In Robotics IV workshop aims to: (1) raise visibility of women in robotics, (2) strengthen the community and provide an opportunity for networking, and (3) foster mentorship of junior female researchers.
The workshop will be a full-day event with a keynote, invited talks, panel discussions, and a poster session. The workshop will end with a dinner to provide networking opportunities for junior female researchers.
Women In Robotics IV is approved, and will take place on Friday June 29, 2018!
