Applications are now open for the SC12 Broader Engagement Program!!!

This year's International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC) will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah from November 10 until November 16. The Broader Engagement (BE) component of the SC12 Communities Program focuses on increasing the involvement of individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups in the SC12 conference and in the High Performance Computing (HPC) domain. Through this program, competitive grants will be made available to support travel to and participation in the SC12 technical program and exhibits.

Applications for the BE program are currently being accepted. Individuals from underrepresented groups in HPC and belonging to any computing-related disciplines are encouraged to apply. The applicants can either choose to apply under the Standard Track or the Advanced Track. While the Standard Track is intended for newcomers to SC, the Advanced Track is intended for the returning and/or advanced BE participants who are interested in accessing the tutorials with partial support from the conference. Detailed information on the BE program is available at:
