The European Code of Best Practices for Women in ICT

Commissioner for Information Society and Media, Commissioner Viviane Reding , has established a Code of Best Practices for Women in ICT. Portia would like to invite all our partners and supporters to sign up to the code. We feel that our partners and supporters deserve wider recognition, and the signing of the Code provides an opportunity to establish this recognition more widely in Europe.

This is a great opportunity for us to acknowledge and publicise the support we have received which reflects the spirit of the Code. The signing of the Code would confirm our supporting organisations’ commitment to promoting women's careers in ICT and help ensure that best practices are shared effectively across Europe
