*Description*

You are invited to join us for a half day workshop on ?Women in HPC? at
Supercomputing 2014. The workshop aims to address gender issues in HPC
research and innovation, the challenges facing women and how gender
inequality can impact efficacy of the scientific method and research
quality. The workshop will include talks from female early career
researchers and invited talks by world-leading women working in the
field of HPC, describing the challenges facing women in HPC careers and
how to improve the representation of women in supercomputing.

We welcome participation from everyone in the HPC community to discuss
the most appropriate and beneficial actions that can be taken to address
the gender imbalance in HPC and the strategies that could be adopted to
achieve these goals.
