About the association

Data Girl is a non-profit association founded in 1998. Two female students in Umeå got inspired during a seminar on women's well-being in computer education. As a result, they chose to organize the first conference in Umeå to create an opportunity to get to know other women studying IT-oriented subjects and discuss how to get more women to apply to data related programs. On the first occasion, the conference had about 20 participants from, among others, Stockholm, Linköping, Uppsala and Umeå. Twenty years later, the conference is our biggest event of the year with 120 participants. Read more here on what DataTjej's conference entails.

We over 3 members in Sweden. The goal of the association is to create a network between individuals who identify as female or non-binary of all ages who study, work or are interested in data/IT. We work to encourage and facilitate contacts mainly between students and business, as well as to increase the community DataTjejis in between. DataTjej won the Womentor Prize 2015 with motivation from the jury that DataTjej makes a major effort to attract more women to the IT industry and to take leading positions there.

"DataTjej is an important platform for community between young girls, and its members are all role models well worth highlighting and praising, "writes IT & Telekomföretagen in a press release."
