Announcement:
The ICES Foundation is delighted to announce that today, on this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, our own Dr. Marie-Christine Sawley (ICES Foundation Advisor for HPC and Exascale), has been elected as President of the newly formed Swiss Association known as ideas4HPC. Along with Marie-Christine, the new Association is co-founded by Dr. Maria Girone it's Vice President and CTO of the CERN openlab, Dr. Florina Ciorba of the University of Basel in Switzerland, and Dr. Sadaf Alam of the University of Bristol in the UK and formerly of the Swiss National Computing Centre (CSCS).
Additionally, ideas4HPC has been appointed as the new Swiss chapter of the Women in HPC (WHPC) advocacy group.
We wish them well in these new ventures and hope to encourage significant collaboration between their activities and the core mission of the ICES Foundation.
