The Women in IR sessions of the 43rd ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, 2020 were held on July 27, 2020 and July 29, 2020. This was the first time that the sessions were held online as SIGIR 2020 was a virtual conference due to COVID-19. The sessions were co-organized by WIR co-chairs Nazli Goharian and Suzan Verberne along with Xin Ma (Microsoft Research Asia). The sessions were spread out to make them accessible for attendees across all time zones, with participants being welcome to attend any of (or both) the sessions. Each session had eminent IR researchers as panelists. Find out more: SIGIR Forum Article / Official photos / Event announcement / Women in IR 2020 Co-chairs
