How can we make #Technology more #inclusive and equitable for all?
Scientists from across Europe are coming together in Vienna for the @HorizonEU #MammothProject to discuss solutions to tackle #gender, #race, and other #biases in #AI. Hosted at the @CSHVienna and @tuvienna this meeting and workshop will foster collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and drive forward ethical AI research and practice.

@ana16_jaramillo’s talk @ @oeggf_at was a thought-provoking exploration of how #prestige impacts the #visibility of under-represented groups in citation rankings, intersecting international mobility, nationality, & gender. A critical discussion for the academic community! @tugraz

The intersection of international mobility, nationality and gender". A class room where the speaker is at the front desk on the left. Her slides are projected on the wall.

New Study on the #gendergap in #physics
A new @CSHVienna study reveals why the gender gap in physics has barely budged for over a century.
Researchers @fariba_k and Jun Sun introduce a model that combines two key mechanisms — generalized preferential attachment and asymmetric mixing — to explain the enduring disparities observed in academic networks. Their novel model mirrors real-world trends and shows the persistence of gender imbalances in citation and coauthorship trends in physics.
“Our model shows that this slow arrival of women in physics is also related to biases that emerge when one decides to collaborate with a new person. Having an understanding of this mechanism allows us to discuss what-if scenarios,” says Fariba Karimi.
Without changes to collaboration patterns and network inclusion, the gap will remain entrenched, adds Karimi, also a professor at @tugraz.

new paper!🚨Many social networks, such as academic collaboration, grow and evolve over time. Current members, based on their attractivity, relevance, as well as preferences, adopt new members into their network. nature.com/articles/s42005-0…

Looking forward to give a talk at the @CSHVienna on Wednesday next week.

🏆 Fariba Karimi awarded ERC Starting Grant 🏆
Fariba Karimi (@fariba_k) is working on an issue that affects us all—often without us even realizing it. Now, her project, "NetFair – Network Fairness," has received nearly 1.5 million euros in funding from the @ERC_Research to take it to the next level. 🚀
As a faculty member at @CSHVienna and professor at @tugraz, Fariba is exploring how artificial intelligence #AI in online social #networks might contribute to social #inequality and #discrimination. Her ultimate goal? To develop fair #algorithms that foster equity rather than reinforce biases. ⚖️🤖
This project is a leap forward in creating a more inclusive digital world, and we’re excited to see the impact it will have!

🌩️As AI's influence grows, how can we ensure its potential is used for good🤝, and not to deepen #inequalities or undermine #HumanRights?
To discuss this, CSH's @lespin was on the panel #AI for Inclusive and Sustainable Development at the AI for Developing Countries Forum #aifod

Today, I'll be giving my last seminar @CSHVienna, on "How to build the perfect institute"?
Will argue that #Science is becoming a victim of its own success and that we must rethink the entire system
