Know and Network is an online social network (think MySpace or Facebook) for Women in IT offering personal and group blogs; a chance to communicate with others and advertise events, seminars and conferences; and a chance to share knowledge and ideas with a community of 'friends'.
It is hoped that women in IT can use this social network to construct their professional identities and networks online. Come join us!
Explore the network by checking out what people are saying right now, and find others with similar interests and goals.

The 12 month Know and Network (KAN) project is funded by the European Social Fund. The KAN team is based at Salford Business School (University of Salford) and is conducting research into "women's business opportunities and advancement".
We are working to address the under-representation of women in IT which results in a lack of access to mentoring and support.
We encourage women to get involved with KAN and meet others from the IT industry; we invite women in IT to use the KAN network to construct their professional identities and networks online.
The site features blogs in which you, the users, can share knowledge and ideas.
