About us

CS4ALL is DIKU's community for women and other gender minorities in computer science. The initiative is part of the Department of Computer Science's broader diversity and inclusion work at the University of Copenhagen.

Mission statement

Our mission is that everyone feels included and comfortable at DIKU, and therefore has the best possible conditions and opportunities to achieve success in IT.

What CS4ALL does

Community building

CS4ALL creates connection through safe mailing lists, networking events, and shared spaces for discussion.

Visibility

The initiative helps make women and other gender minorities more visible and better supported at DIKU and in the digital world more broadly.

Change at department level

Beyond events, CS4ALL contributes to inclusion work by supporting conversations and structural change at a higher level in the university.

How participation works

According to DIKU’s CS4ALL material, the community currently runs two main kinds of events:

  • Local networking events for historically underrepresented groups at DIKU.
  • Open CS4ALL talks and discussions where everybody is welcome.

All employees, students, and staff at DIKU are encouraged to help build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment.
