Alicia García-Holgado received the degree in Computer Sciences (2011), a M.Sc. in Intelligent Systems (2013) and a Ph.D. (Cum Laude) (2018) from the University of Salamanca, Spain. She is Assistant Professor at the Computer Science Department and member of the GRIAL Research Group of the University of Salamanca since 2009, where she currently leads the research line "Social Responsibility and Inclusion". Her research is related to the development of technological ecosystems for knowledge and learning processes management in heterogeneous contexts, and the gender gap in the STEM areas. Noteworthy the organization and participation in a large number of international activities aimed at reducing the gender gap in STEM. She is currently part of the coordinating team in the W-STEM project and researcher in the CreaSTEAM project, both funded by the European Commission and focused on creating inclusive spaces in education and reducing the gender gap in STEM. She is a board member of the Women in Computing Committee of the Spanish Computing Scientific Society and sub-coordinator of the CLEI Community for Latin American women in computing. Angeles Dominguez is Associate Dean of Faculty Development of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, professor of the School of Humanities and Education, and researcher of the Institute for the Future of Education at Tecnologico de Monterrey. Angeles holds a bachelor's in Physics Engineer from the Tecnologico de Monterrey and a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education from Syracuse University, New York. She is a member of the National System of Researchers for her research, SNI-2 (2020-2023). Dr. Dominguez is a member of the interdisciplinary research group SOI-STEM (Socially Oriented Interdisciplinary STEM Education), where she co-leads the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion research line. Her main research areas are interdisciplinary education, gender studies in STEM, and faculty development. Jimena Pascual is Associate Professor of the School of Industrial Engineering at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV), Chile. She holds Ph.D. and M.S.I.E. degrees in industrial engineering from Purdue University, USA, and an industrial engineering degree from PUCV. Her research interests include the mathematical modeling and simulation of logistics and health systems, as well as research in engineering education with social justice and systems thinking perspectives. Her recent collaboration projects include modeling logistics processes related to port operations, optimizing coverage and path planning of unmanned vehicle search-and-rescue missions, and improving engineering education with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, social justice and diversity. She leads her university's participation in the international project "Building the future of Latin America: engaging women into STEM (W-STEM)" funded by the European Union.
