IEEE Symposium on Women in Services Computing (WISC 2025)

2025 IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON WOMEN IN SERVICES COMPUTING (WISC 2025)
MONDAY JULY 7, HELSINKI- FINLAND 

The IEEE International Symposium on Women in Services Computing (WISC) was launched in 2020, evolving from the WISC Workshop, first held in 2017. The goal of the WISC Symposium is to provide an environment for women to exchange both technical and professional ideas and to network, to extend their associations in the field as a basis for advancement, recognition, mentoring, and exchange of ideas. It is a cross-conference event at IEEE SERVICES 2025. It is sponsored jointly by IEEE SERVICES, IEEE Technical Committee on Services Computing (TCSVC), and CCF (China Computer Federation) Technical Committee on Service Computing (TCSC). 

The IEEE WISC Scholarship Program began in 2021 as a cornerstone of our commitment to growing the technical community of women in services computing all over the world. The scholarship program is sponsored jointly by IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES), IEEE Technical Community on Services Computing (TCSVC), and CCF (China Computer Federation) Technical Committee on Service Computing (TCSC). 

One of the highlights of the symposium is the presentation of the IEEE TCSVC Women in Services Computing Award, which will also include a talk by the winner focused on her own professional and personal journey to becoming a recognized leader in the Services Computing field. The world is constantly changing in terms of how we communicate in our day-to-day interactions. However, one thing remains constant and unchanging – the need to maintain the women in services community in which we can foster, and nurture each other in the various walks of life including our careers, long-term goals, and next endeavors!
