The number of women that apply for ICT courses at colleges or universities has increased the last 5 years here in Europe. We have placed as lot of feminine IT candidates lately.

I hope other universities will follow suit and make efforts to involve more women in the computing field.

I noticed in my school a low percentage of women in computer engineering and a high percentage in chemical engineering. Talking with colleagues they found similar ratios at other schools. Could some people have emotional and behavioral tendencies that support computer science work? And others do not? People need to study and work in alignment with their strengths. If you work in the computer science field you should expect to spend long hours focused on your computer. It might be good for more young people to rigorously assess themselves to see what they should study.
