  • Promote gender diversity in Sweden and the global research community
  • Celebrate the elegance of Shannon theory
  • Support the work of leading female researchers
  • Raise visibility of information-theoretic research and its relevance to communication systems, distributed computing, cryptography, machine learning, biology, etc.

The workshop was held in the Ada Lovelace seminar room — a symbolic location honoring the world’s first computer programmer — and served as a platform for insightful discussions and knowledge sharing.

Featured speakers included:

  • Elsa Dupraz (IMT Atlantique, France)
  • Elza Erkip (NYU Tandon School of Engineering, USA)
  • Si-Hyeon Lee (KAIST, South Korea)
  • Parastoo Sadeghi (UNSW Canberra, Australia)
