Europe has been active in the field of women in science for 10 years now - seeking to address the under-representation of women researchers, particularly in top positions. The European Commission has concentrated on funding the collection of information on the situation of women in European science, as well as measures to recruit, retain and promote more women in science. The talk will begin with an introduction on how the 'women in science' issue fits into the European Union's (EU) research policies, followed by an overview of EU activities and results in the field. Comparisons will be drawn between the different approaches taken by the EU and the US on improving the role of women in science.

In "Grace Hopper and the Invention of the Information Age", Kurt Beyer goes beyond the screenplay-ready myth of Grace Hopper to reveal a more authentic Hopper, a vibrant and complex woman whose career paralleled the meteoric trajectory of the postwar computer industry. Kurt Beyer is a former professor at the United States Naval Academy and lectures regularly on the process of technological innovation. This talk is jointly sponsored by the Science, Technology, and Society Program; the American Studies Program; and the Clayman Institute for Gender Research. Bring your own lunch. Drinks and dessert provided. Free and open to all.
