Today, they also hold leading positions in numerous fields, serving as role models to aid in the education of future generations. Throughout their presentation, we will also touch upon the new technologies of our era, aiming to provide broader information for girls to facilitate their placement in Computer Science.

Women4Cyber Hungary Foundation is a part of Women4Cyber Foundation, which is a non-profit European private foundation that promotes, encourages, and supports women's participation in cybersecurity. Women4Cyber Chapters exist to support women in the field of cybersecurity at a national level. Local experts have extended knowledge of their particular cybersecurity ecosystem. Therefore, they can determine the priorities and approaches best suited to implement our mission in their action area. We currently have 28 National Chapters and are keen to establish more. Women4Cyber Hungary is the Hungarian Chapter. The John von Neumann Computer Society (Hungarian name: Neumann János Számítógép-tudományi Társaság, abbreviation: NJSZT) looks back to a very long history. It was founded in 1968 as the first professional computer science organization in Hungary, pioneering this technology that was emerging at that time. Today, it is gathering more than 50 professional organizations and cca. 2000 members. Our mission statement, “to act a GPS of the digital world,” gives guidance to everybody using information technology today in the dynamically developing, technology-driven world of the 21st century. NJSZT plays a significant role in promoting digital culture, fostering digital literacy, and acting as a catalyst for the ICT profession and the digital world. We are a kind of bridge between ICT professionals and everyday people using any digital solution. Therefore, NJSZT’s network is very broad, starting from pupils who are going to take an exam like DigComp-ICDL, through teachers and instructors to leading industry experts.
