Women in HPC's Super(computing)heroes!

January 28, 2026

Co-organised by the Central European, MAR and JuWinHPC WHPC Chapters – Join our community at this Birds of a Feather Session “Super(computing)heroes”!

Members of underrepresented groups often lack access to role models within their minority. The HPC community is still predominantly male, making it difficult for young women to find female “superheroes” to identify with. Such role models are crucial for career planning and guidance. This session aims to provide especially women with the opportunity to meet influential well-recognized female HPC “superheroes” from academia, research labs, HPC centers and industry. Join us to be inspired and find relatable role models as we work together to build a more inclusive and connected HPC community.

Meet the chapters organising this session!
