Our mission
CCS-Women is an initiative of the Cyprus Computer Society aiming to empower women and girls in ICT and promote diversity and inclusion by recognising their accomplishments, raising visibility of their inspiring stories, organising networking events, mentorship programs, and skill-building workshops and seminars.
Our vision
Our vision is to serve as a beacon creating synergies and advocating diversity and inclusion in the ICT landscape. We envision a tech community which is open to everyone without barriers, stereotypes, or biases.
Our values
 | We showcase inspirational stories and admirable achievements of women in tech, highlight female role models, and set the stage for inspiring more girls and women to pursue a career in technology-related fields in Cyprus. |
 | We organise and support initiatives such as mentorship programs, networking events, skill-building workshops, and seminars to empower women and girls thrive in technology-related careers and establish a strong presence in the ICT community. |
 | We actively engage with established communities and groups fostering partnerships, promoting systemic change, breaking barriers, and creating a supportive ecosystem for women in ICT. |
By sharing the inspiring stories of women in ICT and female role models in the broader field of Computer Science, in industry and academia, we aim to raise visibility of their roles and responsibilities, showcase their accomplishments and, ultimately, empower more girls and women to follow a career in this exciting field!
Meet the women role models and join our expanding network!
