The objective of CEC-WYS (Central European Centre for Women and Youth in Science) is to empower women and young scientists in Central Europe and to contribute to achieving gender equality in R&D.

CEC-WYS is a regional project addressing region-specific social-historical context and situation. The target audience is multi-disciplinary and “science” is understood as including all fields of hard and soft sciences. CEC-WYS looks to the long-term transformation of the practice of science and scientific institutions.

CEC-WYS brings together partners from Czech Republic, Hungary, France, Italy, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.

The Romanian partner in the project is the ACPC Research Centre of the Faculty of Automatics and Computer Science, University "Politehnica" of Bucharest.
