Birds of a Feather Event during Eurocrypt 2024 in Zürich, May 2024
Event Description
During the “Women & Allies in Cryptography Discussions", we aim to provide a space that brings together different groups to discuss different topics related to diversity in cryptography. Each group gathers around a table that will be guided by a senior researcher, allowing participants to discuss and collaboratively brainstorm different ideas on a shared board. The event will conclude with each table presenting key discussion points and potential strategies for improving diversity in our community.
The goal of this event is threefold:
- to Gather people who advocate for improving the diversity in the cryptography community,
- to Listen to the perspectives from those who suffer from the lack of diversity in our community,
- to Brainstorm ideas on how to address the raised issues as a first step for a concrete plan of action.
One of the motivations of this event is extending the activities of the Women in Cryptography (WinC) community to in-person spaces.

- From visas to breastfeeding: how to organize an inclusive conference. Moderated by Rachel Player and Diego Aranha.
