European Centre for Women and Technology

Norway

The European Centre for Women and Technology (ECWT) is a European multi-stakeholder partnership of more than 130 organizations from all around Europe and not only. ECWT is today the leading European-level platform for measurably and significantly increasing the number of girls and women in STEM. The mission of the European Centre for Women and Technology (ECWT) is to ensure, based on a multi-stakeholder partnership (MSP) of representatives from the business sector, government, academia, and non-profit sector – a major break-through and a measurable and significant European increase in the participation of women in education, entrepreneurship, employment and leadership in ICT and related sectors until the gender gap is decreased in a rapid speed.

ECWT is led by the desire to collaborate with and give added value to already existing structures and organizations, by sharing knowledge and best practices and creating synergies, leveraging resources, research, and progress.
