ISC 2025

ISC 2025 will once again be returning to Hamburg in Germany for in-person and online sessions!

All of us at Women in HPC are delighted to continuing our official collaboration with the ISC High Performance conference! We will be running a number of different events and activities focused on improving diversity and inclusion in the HPC community. Watch this space for announcements, more information and how you can find us during ISC 2025. We hope to meet as many of our members, supporters and advocates as possible!

Please note that the call for WHPC poster submissions for ISC 2025 is now closed. We appreciate the interest and efforts of all who submitted their work.

The WHPC poster session at ISC is dedicated to women and individuals from underrepresented groups who are students or in the early stages of their HPC careers—typically within the first five years post-graduation or transitioning into supercomputing. Those selected to present will have the opportunity to engage with leaders and employers from across the HPC community, providing a valuable platform to showcase their work and expand their professional network.

Submission guidelines: 

The submissions require an abstract (maximum 500 words), a representative draft of your final poster and the CV (PDF or DOC). Submitted poster proposals will be thoughtfully reviewed by the ISC WHPC Volunteer Committee. Poster topics can encompass a wide range of themes, from technical to non-technical subjects. Examples include early research and projects, reproducibility, career experiences, diversity and inclusion in HPC, and more.

Benefits of participating: 

Successful submissions to this session offer unique advantages:

• Mentorship Support: You will receive guidance and support in polishing your poster and presentation.
• Lightning Talk Opportunity: Showcase your work on stage during the Poster Pitch Session, gaining valuable exposure.
• Best Women in HPC Poster Award: The Best Women in HPC Poster Award certificate will be given to the most outstanding poster selected by the WHPC posters committee.
