HPC Community Survey

Help us understand the high performance computing (HPC) Community better by completing this survey:https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/HPC-community. The survey, conducted by Athina Frantzana at the University of Edinburgh in collaboration with Women in HPC, aims to understand to understand how the HPC community, from users through to HPC specialists. The results from the survey will be used to identify if there are any differences in experience based on certain characteristics. The survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and we encourage all to complete it, men as well as women, from all countries and at all stages of their careers. The only requirement is that you have some interaction with supercomputing/HPC. For more information about the survey please contact a.frantzana at sms.ed.ac.uk.

Informatica Feminale, The University of Bremen, Germany

The University of Bremen, Germany, invites women experts in computer science/informatics to contribute to the 19th Informatica Feminale. The international summer university will take place from August 08 to August 26, 2016 in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Bremen University. Every year, Informatica Feminale offers compact teaching in informatics/computer science for women students of all types of universities and colleges as well as for women professionals interested in further training. In this regard, entering higher education, developing a student career, transition into labor market and lifelong academic learning are equally applied. International lecturers and students meet at the summer university in Bremen to exchange and to use the place for experimentation, with the intention to develop and imply new impulses in informatics.

Informatica Feminale is looking for companies to sponsor the summer university. For companies, there will be various chances to meet graduates of computer science and engineering at both the parallel summer universities Informatica Feminale and Ingenieurin-Sommeruni.
