Alice & Eve 2020
Alice & Eve 2020 is a free, one day meeting to celebrate women in computing in the Netherlands. The event is open to everybody, from Bachelor and Master students up to full professors. This is the first time this event is held in the Netherlands. It is inspired by the BCS Lovelace Colloquium (see https://bcswomenlovelace.bcs.org/), which has been held for over 12 years. We hope to build up a similar tradition with Alice & Eve. The day will feature talks, a poster contest, an exhibition on women in computing, a free lunch and coffee breaks.

If it involves computers, we are interested. If you are not sure what a 250 word abstract looks like, we have some example abstracts here: https://bcswomenlovelace.bcs.org/?page_id=94 (from the British BCS Lovelace Colloquium).
Poster prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
