Tech is not neutral 19 March 2026 15:00 - 17:15

Share
Technology appears neutral, but rarely is. From AI to medical data, systems are often built on a one-sided standard and reinforce existing inequalities. This leads to structural differences in opportunities, assessment and visibility. Differences that go beyond male/female.

This issue is also urgent within the university, as researchers and students work with data and digital systems on a daily basis. When unconscious bias is carried over into these systems, it directly affects research, teaching and societal impact.

At this Vrouwen VU-hulp symposium, we will share academic insights on bias and inclusion. We will present real-world examples of where things go wrong and where they work well, and open a dialogue on how VU Amsterdam and society can make technology more equitable. Speakers include Sandjai Bhulai, professor of Business Analytics, with moderation by Miranda van Holland.

Registration will open soon.

The Vrouwen VU-hulp symposium is inspired by the organisation Vrouwen VU-hulp, which raised tens of millions over the course of the twentieth century to support the founding and development of VU Amsterdam.
