ICIE 2005

I have been at the
1st International Conference on Inter-disciplinarity in Education
ICIE 2005
Athens,April 17-19, 2005
Details
This Conference was embedded in the
Estia-Net Annual Meeting
Athens,April 17-19, 2005
The main objectives are to build up a thematic network, focused in creating women-friendly interdisciplinary postgraduate education in Electrical Engineering, Computer Technologies and Applied Sciences. Moreover, the network aims at increasing awareness about gender bias issues in education, informing and motivating young women, leading women to their educational and career paths, and studying the potentials for implementing a new interdisciplinarity-based postgraduate curriculum.

Questions arising during the meeting are the following:
1) do we need gender-oriented postgraduate curriculum? What is the meaning?
2) importance of mentoring. To boost and increase the percentage of women in ICT Engineering, the role of mentors is essential. Mentor, facilitator or tutor?
Is there a difference?
3) Multidisciplinarity - Interdisciplinarity -Crossdisciplinarity??
Is there a difference?
