UNIVERSE-HPC Seminar: Move the Needle

 24th October 2024, 14:00 - 15:00 BST. Online via Zoom

In December 2023, Alces Flight and Women in HPC (WHPC) came together to launch a 12-month project called ‘Move the Needle.’ The original aim was to track a team of volunteers as they attempted to implement diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) best practices within their personal careers and/or respective organisations over the calendar year. Almost immediately after launch the project took on a new and rather different life - with some significant lessons learned along the way. 

Join Cristin Merritt, CMO of Alces Flight and Advisory Board Member for WHPC, as she walks through the ups, downs, and truly wonderful surprises that took place from the moment she was asked, “So what, really, are the people of high performance computing (HPC) doing to make our field a more equitable place?”

UNIVERSE-HPC is managed by a team, headed by Neil Chue Hong of EPCC, who are preparing a training curriculum framework spanning from undergraduate to continuing professional development level for Research Software Engineers (RSEs) who specialise in high performance computing (HPC).
