Abstract: The session will address a critical issue within our community: the lack of representation and role models for members of minorities, particularly women. It will offer a dynamic and interactive platform for attendees to engage with influential and diverse women in HPC, providing inspiration and fostering valuable connections. Our goals are to increase the visibility of women in HPC, provide strong role models, facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences, create networking opportunities, identify and celebrate “superheroes” in the field, and inspire attendees with relatable stories and achievements. We aim to fill a critical gap in a predominantly male community by supporting and empowering women who often lack connections.<br><br>The session will cover a range of essential topics, including empowering women in the HPC community, diversity and inclusion, and the importance of role models.<br><br>For the BoF session, we are assembling a diverse and global set of speakers from academia, research labs, HPC centers, and industry. These will be women from different geographic regions and backgrounds, ensuring a rich and fruitful discussion. They will be well-recognized members of the HPC community, including past invited or keynote speakers at conferences, award recipients, and those holding key positions at their institutions. Their diverse experiences and perspectives will foster an engaging exchange of ideas and contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the topics at hand.<br><br>As in the previous session, we will collect feedback on the organization and content at the end of the session. In addition, insights, experiences and lessons learned from this BoF will be summarized in a blog post or white paper. The insights from the previous BoF can be found in the following blog post: https://blogs.fz-juelich.de/juwinhpc-voices/embracing-the-challenges-and-opportunities-women-face-in-hpc/.
