SC14 is now accepting applications for their Broader Engagement program. With a mission to increase the participation of individuals who have been traditionally under-represented in HPC, the Broader Engagement program offers travel grants to the conference, which will take place Nov. 16-21 in New Orleans.
Consideration will be given to applicants from groups that traditionally have been under-represented in HPC, including women, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Pacific Islanders and people with disabilities. We encourage applications from people in all computing-related disciplines—from research, education and industry.
Every November, more than 10,000 of the world’s leading experts in HPC, networking, data storage and analysis convene for the SC conference, the world’s largest meeting of its kind.
We encourage applications from people in all computing-related disciplines—from research, education and industry.
