Diversity and Inclusion

The Council on Superconductivity and CWsWISE (Centennial Women Supporting Women in Science and Engineering) work in unison to organize events including workshops, discussion-lunches, and presentations. The goals of our efforts are to promote awareness of deleterious issues (e.g. implicit bias) and to challenge & foster our technical community to be socially responsible and conscious of their actions.
 
Our next event will take place at ASC18 in Seattle. Please join us for this outstanding program with invited speakers from Industry and National Labs. Sign up for the Diversity Event while registering for the ASC18 conference.
