DataTjej
DataTjej is a non-profit association that was formed in 1998. Two female students in Umeå were inspired during a seminar concerning women’s well-being in computer education. Hence, they chose to organize the first conference in Umeå to create an opportunity to get to know several women who studied IT-oriented subjects and to discuss how to get more women to apply to data. On the first occasion, the conference had approximately 20 participants from, among other places, Stockholm, Linköping, Uppsala and Umeå. Twenty years later, the conference is our biggest event of the year with 120 participants.

The goal of the association is to create a network between individuals who identify as female or non-binary of all ages who study, work or are interested in data/IT. We work to encourage and facilitate contacts mainly between students and business, as well as to increase the community between DataTjej members.
