In our meeting, we started with brief introductions of all partners and an overview of the project, followed by detailed discussions on WP1 Project Management, including project administration, financial transfers, and timesheet submissions. We reviewed the proposal documents, grant agreement, and partner agreement, emphasizing the project’s end date of 28.02.2026. For Quality Assurance, we prepared a QA plan and evaluation templates. The Promotion segment will involve developing a promotion plan, discussing the design of logos and templates, and planning the website, social media, and necessary promotional materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI is still a nascent field in which relatively few people have leading expertise<\/strong>, and as such many organizations and their workforces are just beginning their AI journeys. There is still time for organizations to close the gender gap in AI\u2014organizations that can bring more women into their AI teams can not only bring much needed gender equality to the field, but also bring more value to their business and customers. While it is surely difficult to change a gender-biased problem that is not being quantified, companies globally are realizing the value that gender diversity can offer in AI. Through our project we will enhance women\u2019s AI skills through our innovative curriculum that will be hosted on the project\u2019s website via a designated knowledge portal and our unique approach of educational material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
