Call for Papers: Women in HPC Workshop for early career researchers in HPC

Call for Papers: 
Women in HPC Workshop for early career researchers in HPC
In collaboration with ISC High Performance 2015

This event will bring together female early-career researchers with a focus on European participation, providing them with an opportunity to showcase their work and to meet role models and peers in an environment designed to move beyond the stereotype of HPC as a male-dominated field. It will open with an introduction to current research by the Women in HPC network, the demographics of the HPC community and the different experiences of men and women in the field.

Panel discussion
Building on our first workshop at SC14, we will also host a panel discussion, focusing on “How can women fulfill their dreams in HPC, combining work with having a family and working in a male-dominated environment?”.

Call for papers

As part of the workshop we will be inviting submissions from female early career researchers (papers or posters) to present their work in a supportive environment that promotes the engagement of women in HPC research and applications, providing opportunities for peer to peer networking and the opportunity to interact with female role models.

Applicants must be female and either PhD candidates or early career researchers who have been awarded their PhD within 5 years of 1 July 2015.

Submissions will be invited for the following categories:

        • Extended abstract (max 500 words) for a hot topic 20 minute presentation on research in any area that utilises high performance computing;
        • Short abstract (max 250 words) for a poster in any area that utilises high performance computing.
