Dear Working Groups,<br>
<br>
I would be grateful if you could disseminate the following
information to<br>
your members. With best wishes.<br>
<br>
Sarah<br>
<br>
Following the EURO 2018 Women in Science and EURO 2019 Women in OR<br>
sessions, interested members of the OR community are working with
the EURO<br>
Executive Committee on an initiative to create the EURO WISDOM
Forum (Women<br>
In Society: Doing Operational Research and Management Science).<br>
<br>
This initiative restates the need for gender main-streaming and
affirms<br>
that OR/MS can offer exciting opportunities for all women if they
have<br>
equal access to resources and adequate training. Gender
main-streaming aims<br>
to integrate a gender dimension into existing institutions and
practices in<br>
order to achieve meaningful gender equality.<br>
<br>
WISDOM is a forum to support, empower, and encourage the
participation of all<br>
genders in OR/MS within EURO. In particular, it aims to promote
inclusivity<br>
by the following actions:<br>
1. Advise/make recommendations/highlight best practices to the
EURO<br>
executive on issues facing women in OR. Such guidelines can be
disseminated<br>
to EURO member societies and Working Groups. Positive progress,
outcomes<br>
and activities of member societies can serve as a template for
other member<br>
societies;<br>
2. Promote championing, networking and mentoring, particularly of
women at<br>
the early stages of their career in OR;<br>
3. Promote a conversation around how OR can be utilised to help
create a<br>
diverse and inclusive future.<br>
<br>
In January 2020, all EURO member societies were invited to
nominate one or<br>
two members<br>
to participate in establishing the EURO WISDOM Forum. At the
moment, the<br>
WISDOM Forum<br>
organising committee (OC) includes 21 members from 10 European OR
societies<br>
including two EURO representatives, the EURO Vice Presidents Julia
Bennell<br>
and Claudia Archetti. The chair of the WISDOM OC is Paula Carroll
and the<br>
Secretary is Annunziata Esposito Amideo, both from the University
College<br>
Dublin, Ireland.<br>
The WISDOM Forum will operate through three subcommittees focusing
on<br>
Research, Events and Public Relations (PR). The subcommittees
chairs are:<br>
Research : Paula Carroll, Events :<br>
Renata Mansini (University of Brescia ,Italy), and PR: Tatiana
Tchemisova<br>
(University of Aveiro, Portugal).<br>
<br>

Our first event is a webinar on “Bias/Fairness and Artificial
Intelligence”.<br>

Panellists<br>
<br>
Prof Alan Smeaton is Professor of Computing at Dublin City
University,<br>
Ireland and a Founding Director of the Insight Centre for Data
Analytics at<br>
DCU. He will speak on Data bias in automatic image and video
captioning and<br>
its impact. For more information about Alan see<br>

<br>
Dr Claire Gormley is an Associate Professor in the School of
Mathematics<br>
and Statistics in University College Dublin, Ireland and a Funded<br>
Investigator in the Insight Centre for Data Analytics and the
VistaMilk<br>
research centre. Her research develops novel statistical methods
for the<br>
analysis of complex data arising from substantive problems. The
methods<br>
solve applied problems across a range of disciplines, including<br>
epigenetics, metabolomics, genomics, social science, sports
science and<br>
political science. She will speak on Be fair to the models: the
importance<br>
of assumptions in data analytics and modelling. For more
information about<br>
Claire see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://people.ucd.ie/claire.gormley">https://people.ucd.ie/claire.gormley</a>;<br>
<br>
Dr Fintan Costello, is an Associate Professor in the School of
Computer<br>
Science, University College Dublin, Ireland. His research
interests cover a<br>
number of different areas in computer science, psychology and
maths. His<br>
main interests are: biases in human reasoning and decision making;<br>
processes of rational inference in cognition; the origins of bias
and<br>
rationality in human thought; computational models of
probabilistic<br>
reasoning; computational models of decision making. He will speak
on Bias<br>
and rationality in human reasoning (and why the same biases apply
to AI).<br>

interdisciplinary frameworks for the governance and regulation of
machine<br>
learning algorithms. She will speak on Gender bias and Artificial<br>
Intelligence. For more information about Susan see<br>
