| ZRL employs about 200 scientists,
approximately 10% of whom are women. Scientists working here
come from more than 25 countries. They are trained in Computer
Science, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, and
Chemistry and often work in interdisciplinary teams. The
laboratory is involved in more than 80 projects with European
universities, the Swiss government and research institutes
of industrial partners. |
| Throughout the history of ZRL,
this excellent environment has stimulated researchers to
demonstrate outstanding performance and to produce remarkable
results, as two Nobel prizes prove. Our women researchers,
although few in number, are represented in all departments
and contribute significantly to the success of their teams. |
| Here is how some of our women
researchers view their roles and responsibilities. |

"Promoting
a broad view of computational sciences within the Lab
and outside has been my endeavor during these past three
years in my role as Program Manager for Deep Computing
Applications." |

from curiosity and enables me to draw on the expertise
of many colleagues, as well as the opportunity to build
a career based on my strengths." |

| "Most
people think that working in IT means doing mostly
programming, but that's not true. It means spending most
of your time with people." |
