Founded in 2012, Muses ACM-W Student Chapter is the first one in Europe. After the first computer was developed, the first engineers that worked on that project formed the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). This served as a common platform to share ideas and a place where the engineers could discuss future projects in computing. Nowadays, ACM, the world’s largest educational and scientific
computing society, delivers resources that advance computing as a science and a profession. ACM provides the computing field's premier Digital Library and serves its members and the computing profession with leading-edge publications, conferences, and career resources. Now in modern times, Computer Science is flourishing and developing rapidly. However, there is still a disproportionate ratio between male and female computer scientists, and there is a need for more women to join Computer Science. Therefore, ACM started the ACM-Women in Computing (ACM-W) in order to promote an equality in the numbers of men and women in this field, and to encourage more women to enter the discipline of Computing. The student chapters of ACM-W serve to increase recruitment and retention of women in computing fields at the university level. An ACM-W chapter in a university offers students activities and projects that aim to improve the working and learning environments for women in computing.
