Recognition for our dedication to diversity in tech

Our efforts to make tech industries more diverse are going from strength to strength. Women make up just 17 percent of the tech workforce. Recent figures suggest that just four per cent of the workers in the tech industry are black, Asian or minority ethnic (BAME). We wanted to change the statistics and create a more diverse tech sector. And that's what Professors Sue Black and Alexandra I. Cristea from our Computer Science Department set out to do with TechUPWomen. Award winners By working with partner universities and industry leads, our TechUP women were from a diverse range of backgrounds, including 54 per cent BAME women. The team's dedication to creating a more diverse workforce was recognised at the Dynamites Awards, where they received an award in the diversity and inclusion category.
