<p>Dear colleagues,</p>

<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p><b>Informatics Europe applauds the Outstanding Evaluation
received for the COST Action EUGAIN on Gender Balance in
Informatics</b><br>
<br>
Informatics Europe is proud to announce the successful
completion of the <a href="https://eugain.eu/about/"
moz-do-not-send="true">EUGAIN</a> project (European Network
for Gender Balance in Informatics), a landmark COST Action
dedicated to advancing gender balance across the field of
Informatics in Europe.<br>
<br>
In its final review by European Commission experts, <b>EUGAIN
received “excellent” ratings in all evaluation criteria</b>—an
exceptional recognition of the network’s dedication and
impact. Key outcomes include <a
href="https://eugain.eu/results/research-publications/"
moz-do-not-send="true">research papers</a>, <a
href="https://eugain.eu/results/deliverables/"
moz-do-not-send="true">policy recommendations, and practical
guidelines</a> that set the groundwork for institutions to
incorporate gender and diversity studies into Informatics
programs. EUGAIN has also established a vital platform for
historically underrepresented populations in Informatics to
take the stage and have an academic voice at international
conferences and workshops. These achievements have laid the
foundation for ongoing progress across academia and industry.<br>
<br>
Informatics Europe extends its sincere gratitude to all those
involved in the project, with special thanks to our former
WIRE Working Group (now the <a
href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/society/diversity-and-inclusion/working-group.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">Diversity and Inclusion Working Group</a>)
for initiating EUGAIN and serving as a major driving force
behind its success; the action chairs, professors Letizia
Jaccheri (NTNU, Norway) and Barbora Buhnova (Masaryk
University, Czech Republic), as well as much of the <a
href="https://eugain.eu/structure/core-group/"
moz-do-not-send="true">core leadership group</a> originated
from WIRE. Informatics Europe is honoured to have supported
this Action as a grant holder.<br>
<br>
We invite all institutions committed to advancing gender
balance in Informatics to explore <a
href="https://eugain.eu/results/" moz-do-not-send="true">EUGAIN's
outcomes</a> and join our <a
href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/society/diversity-and-inclusion/working-group.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">Diversity and Inclusion Working Group</a>,
where together, we can build on the legacy of EUGAIN and
further promote inclusivity in the field.</p>
<p>Warm regards,<br>
Informatics Europe<br>
