What we talked about

  • How each panellist found her way into HPC
  • The realities of working in the field
  • Lessons learned along the way
  • The advice they wish they had been given earlier

The session was open to everyone, from people just discovering HPC to those already working in it. It marked the beginning of a community for women in HPC across the MENA region.
