WHPC@ISC18 Offers Workshop, BoF, and Evening Careers and Opportunities Reception

WHPC will once again be at the ISC High Performance conference this June in Frankfurt, Germany and we hope that you can join us. Conference and workshop registration is now open and starts from as little as 245 EUR for a student early-bird conference registration.

Finally, following the success of our evening Careers reception at SC17, we will be running a WHPC Careers and Opportunities evening buffet dinner and we are seeking supporters. If your company/organization is interested in speaking to and networking with women in HPC on career opportunities, training, or products that will help advance their careers, then we want to hear from you! Get in touch.

2018 Minerva Informatics Equality Award Nominations Due 1 June

The call for nominations for the 2018 Minerva Informatics Equality Award is now open. The award recognizes best practices in Computer Science/Informatics Departments or Faculties of European Universities or Research Institutes and Labs that have a demonstrated positive impact for women.

Women of Color Scholarship for Grace Hopper Conference

Submissions are now open for a scholarship aimed at increasing the number of women of color at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, which will be held in Houston, TX, USA, 26-28 September. This scholarship covers only registration; applicants will need to pay for their travel expenses through other sources. Applications are due 8 June.

Women in Science Comics

As a follow-up to the success of their Women in Science card game, the LuanaGames team is now developing a comic book illustrating and popularizing the lives of historical women in science. The comics, like the card game, will be licensed with a Creative Commons License, enabling sharing with ease. There will also be translations into English, French, and Spanish in order to broaden reach.
