High-Tech Women in Science and Technology

From Cybersecurity to Artificial Intelligence

We at the System Security Lab and CROSSING use our global network and organize the second Darmstadt Women in Tech event on November 18, 2021. The conference will feature talks by internationally renowned female speakers from all over the world. As such, it will be a platform for inspiring successful women in tech to spread their professional achievements and ideas. By presenting their career paths – from Cybersecurity to Artificial Intelligence – and sharing their experience, our speakers will empower young talents to reach their goals and have their careers in tech.

We focus on connecting established female experts with young female scientists and presenting successful role models.
