Our Mission
R-Ladies Vienna is a non-profit organization and a local chapter of R-Ladies Global. We promote gender diversity in the R community worldwide, with a mission to achieve proportionate representation of genders currently underrepresented.
We organize regular events and meetups in-person and/or online to connect with the community. Our priority is to provide a safe and inclusive community space for anyone identifying as a minority gender who is interested in and/or working with R, and at the same time welcome all identities to participate in our events.
We welcome members of all R proficiency levels, from new aspiring R users to experienced R programmers interested in mentoring, networking and expert upskilling. Our community is designed to develop our members’ R skills and knowledge through social, collaborative learning and sharing. We support the access of minority identities to STEM skills and careers, the Free Software Movement, and contributing to the global R community!
Participation Guideline
We follow the code of conduct and community guidelines of R-Ladies Global.
The leadership, mentoring & teaching roles within this Community are held exclusively by minority genders, with learning participation opened to all genders. Anyone involved with R-Ladies Vienna is expected to fully respect each other, the mandate of this community, and the goodwill on which R-Ladies is founded.
As a founding principle, there is no cost or charge to participate in any of the R-Ladies communities around the world.
