WiTEC Italy is supported by the Centre for Gender Studies in Education of the Department of Education Sciences of the University of Bologna. The Centre covers research coming from the various fields of Education and Social Sciences, and is dedicated to promoting research concerning gender and education, as well as to implementing training activities on this topic.
From its foundation until November 2011 WiTEC Italy was based at the Industrial Liaison Office "UETP ALMA MATER".

WiTEC Italy has always worked very closely on student placement programmes for female students, thanks to strong relationships with local industries.
