Women in AI – Online speed mentoring
The HeadStart consortium, together with the University of Luxembourg, is delighted to invite young women across Europe to an inspiring online event dedicated to empowerment, connection, and career discovery: Women in AI – Speed Mentoring.
HeadStart is an Erasmus+ project designed to help close the AI gender gap. Coordinated by us WIDE ANDCO, and implemented with partners Momentum (Ireland), Inspiring Girls Portugal, and the European E-learning Institute (Denmark), the project supports young women (15–35) and educators working with youth in building confidence, skills, and networks in artificial intelligence.
This event embodies HeadStart’s mission by creating direct bridges between aspiring AI learners and experienced women professionals. Through a dynamic speed-mentoring approach, participants gain personalised guidance to navigate both the opportunities and challenges of the AI sector.
Why Speed Mentoring?
Speed mentoring offers focused, meaningful exchanges with a different mentors from across the EU. Each conversation is an opportunity to:
- Receive tailored advice on studies and career paths
- Understand real-world experiences from women working in AI
- Ask questions in a safe and encouraging environment
- Build momentum and confidence
- Connect with a supportive European community
After a brief introduction, participants will enter breakout rooms for several 15-minute rounds of discussion, allowing for intimate, engaging exchanges with 2–3 mentors per room.
