"Women's Work and Informatics" (Frauenarbeit und Informatik) is the name of a Special Interest Group founded eight years ago in the German Society for Informatics (Gesellschaft fuer Informatik). Today our group has about 500 members and is a forum for female computer professionals to exchange experi ences in the discipline and in the various work situations. Our general aim is to increase the influence of women on the design and application of information technology. 12 local and thematic working groups are concerned with topics like women's research, promotion of women, motivation and encouragement of young women, the installation of an experts network, etc. In addition we are member of the national council of women's organisations to emphasize the interests of female technicians in the political environ ment.
