European Centre for Women and Technology

The European Centre for Women and technoloygy (ECWT) serves as a European single point of contact for information, collection and analysis of data, research and the development of appropriate methodological tools to attract more girls to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), for nurturing and retaining women in the knowledge economy through industry and entrepreneurial careers, promoting the female talent to provide added value to ICT solutions, supporting more female ICT business start-ups and consolidating the largest network for closing the Digital Gender Gap in Europe.

ECWT is a European multi-stakeholder partnership of more than 130 organizations from all around Europe and not only. ECWT serves as a European single point of contact for information, collection and analysis of data, research, and the development of appropriate methodological tools to attract more girls to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), for nurturing and retaining women in the knowledge economy through industry and entrepreneurial careers, promoting the female talent to provide added value to ICT solutions, supporting more female ICT business start-ups and consolidating the largest network for closing the Digital Gender Gap in Europe.

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, the academia, and the 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.

The ECWT implements its strategy through the National Point of Contacts (N-PoCs) established in the Member States and other European countries functioning as a national platform of multi-stakeholders supporting women’s full participation in the knowledge-based economy and the implementation of the Commission’s Digital Agenda and the Europe 2020 strategy, and the six Commission priorities until 2024.
