A paper on initiative Ladies in Informatics was published at the Central European Conference on Information and Intelligent Systems CECIIS 2020 and written by Lili Nemec Zlatolas, Maja Pušnik, Tina Beranič and Marjan Heričko. Attracting female professionals, researchers and students in the STEM fields has been a growing topic in recent years. By comprehending the importance of diverse teams in all areas, the emerging challenges are also addressed by the Institute of Informatics at the University of Maribor. Therefore, strategic monitoring of actions was introduced in order to attract females in the field of Informatics. In this paper, we address the importance that the academic organisations and Institutions create action plans and follow the guidelines for attracting potential female staff, who can ameliorate the teams at Universities. We present an example of how the action plans are being monitored and extended actively, based on trending guidelines.
