Juliet Webster
Gender and ICT Research Programme (IN3, UOC) Director, Work & Equality Research (London, UK).
My work focuses on employment equality and on actions needed to advance this agenda. My particular concerns are the situation of women in ICT jobs and, at the other end of the labour market, with that of women in unskilled service occupations. Within the Gender and ICT Programme, I am currently engaged in a cross-national comparison of the presence of women in ICT professions, and of the measures different countries have taken to increase women’s participation.

Neelie Kroes
Vice-president
of the European Commission, responsible for the Digital Agenda for Europe (2010-2020).
I've been interested in gender
issues since I joined student societies at University in Rotterdam in 1959.
I've been lucky to do things women before me never had the chance to do, so I
want to pass on even more opportunities to the next generations. There's a
special place in hell for women who don't support other women.

Inger Lassen
Professor, Department of Culture and Global Studies, Aalborg University (Denmark).
I've been interested in gender issues for most of my life. During the 1970s I attended gender awareness groups in a local community in Denmark. In the 1980s, when I lived and worked in Lesotho in Africa, the interest was nourished by stories told by female academics about limited access to own income. I began as a researcher a few years ago at Aalborg University in Denmark, and since 2007 I'm a Professor at the Department of Culture and Global Studies at the mentioned university, where I am director of the doctoral programme Discourse an Contemporary Culture. In addition to my interest in gender studies, my research also focuses on climate change discourses and public engagement.

Centennial Professor, Gender Institute, London School of Economics (UK).
I’ve been working in higher education for forty years, writing and talking about the ways in which gender structures the social world. I focus on those narratives (fictional or otherwise) through which we construct our social identity. I’ve written on various aspects of gender and women’s studies and many of those publications have crossed disciplinary lines between the social sciences and the humanities. My last book is Transatlantic Conversations. Feminism as Travelling Theory, coedited with Kathy Davis, from Utrecht University.

Contradiction, absurdity, hazard and often irony are the sources which I flirt with to point out what’s around me. My photographs have been acquired by major public and private collections and they have also been shown in many solo and collective exhibitions in Spain and abroad. I won the Fotopress scholarship in 1993 and, since then, I have published more than 20 books focusing on contemporary architecture and landscape.

I was born in Tehran in the 70’s under the Shah’s regime. My childhood and adolescence were spent moving from country to country, trying to "fit in". I obtained an architecture degree from the École d’Architecture Paris La Seine, but soon afterwards discovered painting and decided to explore in that direction. I think after about 13 years of exploration I can say that my work is about the unveiling of human nature on one hand, and of our social behaviour on the other.

Associate Professor, Wits Business School (South Africa).
My research and teaching at Wits Business School focuses on strategy, innovation and capability building. I approach my work on ICT from multiple perspectives as a feminist, a public policy specialist in innovation and a management science scholar. This means that I consider ICTs and their role in society both as a platform technology for economic activity and a factor that has had significant societal implications. My fascination with this field has now spanned close to three decades and dates back to my very first undergraduate course in science and technology policy. I have also been an advocate for countries doing everything they can to produce more Steve Jobs in his role as a risk-taking, dynamic, driven, entrepreneur who through their actions produces changes that disrupt an industry landscape and creates value, jobs and other economic benefits.
