The *2021 Award* is devoted to *gender equality initiatives encouraging 
female students to enrol in Computer Science/Informatics programmes and 
retaining them. *The Award seeks to celebrate successful initiatives 
that have had a measurable impact on the recruitment and support of 
female students within the institution. Such initiatives can serve as 
exemplars of best practices within the community, with the potential to 
be widely adopted by other institutions. Submissions will need to 
demonstrate the impact that has been achieved.**For 2021 examples of 
impact could include fostering gender balance in all aspects of 
students’ education, better admission, recruitment and graduation rates 
for female students, better gender ratio of students receiving stipends, 
scholarships and other financial support, improved curriculum, designed 
based on gender analysis, as recorded in objective surveys of staff and 
student experience, etc.

*The Award is sponsored by Google and carries a prize of EUR 5,000.*

The Award will be given to a Department or Faculty to be used for 
further work on encouraging the recruitment and support of female 
students. To be eligible, institutions must be located in one of the 
member or candidate member countries of the Council of Europe
