Female Influencers in Automatic Control
The aim of this initiative is to gather a collection of portraits of women who has or will influence the field of control engineering. The project has two parts:
- Historical Female Influencers: females that worked in control engineering over the decades and left their mark, paved the way for today's female professionals and constitute important role-models for young female students. The purpose is to document their role and importance in the field of control engineering and to highlight the role of women for today’s students and professionals. We are happy to share the material that we have collected with you!
- Future Female Influencers: visions of future females in the field of control engineering should be an important driving force for the development of control engineering. The pupose is to gather and document hopes, wishes, ideas and aspirations of young female students and professionals. Information is currently collected through a questionaire. We truly appreciate your help in collecting information. The answers will anonoumous. Representative characters will be created and used to sum up the responses.
We are grateful for the financial support and sponsoring that we have received from; IFAC Activity Fund, Dept of Automatic Control at Lund University Sweden, ELLIIT, ECC (European Control Conference), and IEEE CSS Outreach Fund.
