Broader Engagement

Deadline extended for participation grant applications.
New Deadline August 23rd

The SC10 Broader Engagement (BE) program is aimed at increasing the involvement of individuals from groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the HPC field. The program will offer Sessions that introduce trends and current applications of HPC and Computational Science, a Mentor/Protégé program that matches participants with self-identified mentors, a Student Job Fair and Exhibitor Scavenger Hunt. These SC10 activities are designed to stimulate interest across the HPC community. Competitive participation grants are available that support travel to and participation in the SC10 Technical Program by members of underrepresented groups in HPC, such as African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, the physically challenged and women. This year a subset of funds is available to support students and faculty specifically from the MSIs in the Southeast Region.

Broader Engagement activities are open to all SC10 attendees. In order to join BE social and catered events, participants must either be covered by participation grants or selected BE Add-on via Conference Registration.

Applications for participation grants are encouraged from all those in computing-related disciplines. Applications are now being accepted via the Submissions website. Create an account, log in, select either Student App or Professional/Faculty App to apply for BE participation grants.
