SHOWCASING WOMEN IN HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
In collaboration with ISC High Performance 2015, the WHPC network are running a half day workshop Frankfurt during the ISC week (Sunday 12 July 2015 – Thursday 16 July 2015).
Building on the success of the first international workshop for Women in HPC at Supercomputing 2014 in New Orleans our workshop at ISC will bring together female early career researchers with a focus on European participation, providing them with the opportunity to showcase their work and network with role-models and peers in an environment designed to reduce the stereotype of men dominating the field of HPC.
The workshop will open with an introduction on current research by the Women in HPC network, what the current demographics of the HPC community are and the differences experienced by men and women in the field. Following on from the feedback from SC14 we will provide a themed panel discussion, focusing on “How can women fulfill their dreams in HPC, combining work with the having a family and working in a male dominated environment?”.
