Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

Incoming CRA Director Featured in The Networking Channel Panel: How can we improve diversity and inclusion in the systems and networking community?

January 31st, 2022 / in Announcements, CCC, NSF / by Maddy Hunter

On Wednesday, February 2nd at 11am EST The Networking Channel will stream a panel “How can we improve diversity and inclusion in the systems and networking community?” Organized by Jim Kurose (University of Massachusetts Amherst) and Matt Caesar (University of Illinois), the panel will feature Margaret Martonosi (National Science Foundation), the Computing Research Association’s incoming Director Tracy Camp (Colorado School of Mines and CRA), Mythili Vutukuru (IIT Bombay, India), Ahmed Elmokashfi (Simula Research Laboratory, Norway), Craig Partridge (Colorado State University), and Manuel Perez-Quinones (University of North Carolina Charlotte). The panel will address how to improve diversity and inclusion in the Computer Science field.

Panel Description: Many of us would agree with the importance of diversity and inclusion, but oftentimes the path to achieve those goals is not so clear. In this panel, we will have a conversation on how we can improve diversity and inclusion within the systems and networking community. Our goal is to both foster awareness of concerns that have been voiced within our community, as well as to propose ideas attendees can bring back to their home institutions to improve equity and inclusion in their daily work.

Register for the webinar here.

The Networking Channel is an effort sponsored by Empower EU, the NSF PAWR Office and ACM Sigcomm that organizes online, global events to connect researchers and keep important conversations going during the pandemic. These events take place ever other Wednesday at 11am EST. You can join the slack channel or register for future webinars here.
