Past events
The kick-off and first event took place on Tuesday, 10 December 2019 at the ETH Zentrum.
external page#IamRemarkablecall_made is a Google initiative that encourages women and other underrepresented groups to celebrate their achievements, not just in the workplace. At the same time, the initiative boldly takes a stand against society's reluctance to self-promote. The movement also invites all of us to take pride in our accomplishments and carry them from ourselves to the world. Because we are remarkable and have every reason to show it.

Even at our first speed networking session, we realised what an exciting and inspiring way it is to make new contacts within the IT-Women@ETH network and build relationships with colleagues*. The exchange with the IT Training Lab offered more "women in IT", and as many had never been to Octavo before, there was an exclusive tour.

Through our collaboration with the D-INFK during the Informatiktage, we were able to convince Prof Dr Dennis Komm to introduce Python to our network. Python is characterised by a clear and readable syntax that makes it easy for beginners to learn programming. This makes Python a great language to learn the basics of coding. Python can be used in many different application areas, including web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, game development and much more. The broad applicability of Python makes it a valuable skill for various professional fields.

The workshop was previously offered to female students at ETH. Our network got in touch and received a programme that is not only aimed at beginners, but also at professional women*. The event was designed to help support the women* in our network in their professional development, address existing gender inequalities in the workplace and enable us to realise our professional goals and dreams. This also included raising awareness of the gender pay gap, developing negotiation skills, encouraging networking, achieving a work-life balance, empowerment, self-confidence and sharing success stories.
