ABSTRACT:

Building on the success of the first international workshop for Women in HPC at SC14 this workshop will bring together leading women working in HPC and female early career researchers. The workshop will showcase HPC research by early career women on a broad range of topics from any area of study in HPC, as well as discussing the importance of gender equality.

The workshop will open with an introduction on current research by the Women in HPC network including up to date demographics. We will also host three panel discussions:

1. Women in Industry. Are there specific barriers to women working in the industry in HPC?
2. Career progression. Are women more likely to move into project management roles than men?
3. Are women the problem or do we also have ‘the wrong kind of men’?
