On 3rd of March, in celebration of International Women’s Day, the WiL network signed the Code of Best Practices for Women and ICT, launched by EU Commissioner Viviane Reding, under the umbrella of the Cyberellas initiative. Five other signatory company representatives participated, from Alcatel-Lucent, IMEC, Microsoft, Motorola and Orange FT.

Claudine Schmuck and Thaima Samman highlighted WiL as a supportive network for women’s careers, including those working in the ICT sector, through the mentoring framework put in action and its policy outreach actions.

Bringing together the best practices of industry, public organisations, academia, NGOs, the Code is developed as a web address-based tool where other entities are invited to consult, bring improvement suggestions and sign.
