IUS was proud to host the first Sarajevo ACM Celebration of Women in Computing, SCWiC 2026, on May 19, 2026.
Organized by the Sarajevo ACM-W Professional Chapter and supported by ACM-W Europe, the celebration welcomed more than 100 students, academics, researchers, and professionals for a day centered on women in computing, inclusion, and the ethical and sustainable use of technology.
The program featured a welcome address by Dr. Kanita Karađuzović-Hadžiabdić, a session on ACM-W and the Sarajevo ACM-W Professional Chapter by Chair Dr. Amal Mersni, and an online talk by Dr. Asegul Hulus (ACM-W Global Professional Chapters Committee). The day also included a student panel on ACM-W's womENcourage, a sustainability workshop led by Dr. Özge Büyükdağlı, chapter Vice Chair, and a poster session under the theme "Computing in My Field: Ethics, Equity and Sustainability".
Our thanks go to every speaker, panelist, juror, organizer, and student who made this first edition a meaningful step for the local computing community. By creating space for students to present their work and connect with peers and mentors, SCWiC 2026 reaffirmed IUS's commitment to inclusive academic initiatives and to supporting women in computing.
