Hello, My name is Timnit Gebru and I am a PhD student at Stanford University studying computer vision. I am one of the co-organizers of WiCV (Women in Computer Vision Workshop: https://wicvworkshop.github.io/) co-located with CVPR on July 26 in Honolulu, Hawaii. I am asking for your help spreading the word to anyone who might be interested. We encourage everyone who identifies as female and does research in computer vision to submit abstracts (details below). We provide travel grants to participants with accepted abstracts (grant amounts depend on the distance traveled).
Thanks!

However, despite the expansion of our field, the percentage of female faculty members and researchers both in academia and in industry is still relatively low. As a result, most female researchers working in computer vision feel isolated and do not have a lot of opportunities to meet with other women. The half-day workshop on Women in Computer Vision is a gathering for both women and men working in computer vision. The goals of this workshop are to: -- Raise visibility of women in computer vision by presenting invited research talks by women who are role models in this field. -- Give opportunities to junior female students or researchers to present their work via poster/oral sessions and travel awards. -- Share experience and career advice for female students and professionals. *ELIGIBILITY* All (male and female) undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and faculty who are interested in or working in any area of computer vision are encouraged to attend. Travel grants are available for "female" presenters who are students (undergraduate or graduate), post-docs, and junior industry researchers. Last year attendees are also welcome to apply to present their work. *SUBMISSION* We encourage female students, post-docs, and junior researchers to submit an application through the WiCV CMT site: https://cmt3.research.mi crosoft.com/WICV2017 The application should include an abstract of 2 pages or less, using the final CVPR paper template. This abstract should describe either new or previously published research, including research presented at CVPR 2017. The reviewing process in not double-blind. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to present their work as a poster. A few abstracts will be selected for oral presentation. *IMPORTANT DATES* Abstract submission deadline: April 21, 2017 Notification of abstract acceptance: May 8, 2017 Workshop: July 26, 2017
