AUA Celebrates International Girls Day in ICT
April 28, 2016 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm +04
After the forum, the undergraduate program in Computational Sciences at AUA, the admissions criteria, and ways of financing education at AUA will be introduced. The girls will also tour the AUA campus, with a special focus on the cutting edge classrooms.
International Girls in ICT Day is an initiative backed the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). ITU is the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies – ICTs. They allocate global radio spectrum and satellite orbits, develop the technical standards that ensure networks and technologies seamlessly interconnect, and strive to improve access to ICTs to underserved communities worldwide. The public forum at AUA is part of the international celebration of ‘Girls in ICT Day 2016’, based at the ITU Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Women and Information Society NGO was established in September 2011 with the mission to contribute to the integration of women and girls in the information society of Armenia. The organization is based on the partnership of many stakeholders, including the private sector, the government, the academia and the non-profit sector with the goal to leverage resources and research, build awareness, and promote programs which will remove the barriers that restrict girls and women to use information and communication technologies (ICT).
