STUDENT VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

PLEASE NOTE: The submission process for the SV Program is closed!

If you are a student pursuing a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree in computer science or another STEM-related field and have an interest in high performance computing (HPC), volunteering at ISC 2023 will help steer your career in the direction you want to go.

We are looking for dedicated and reliable young people to help us run our conference, which will be attended by over 3,000 HPC practitioners, users and vendors. In return, you will have the opportunity to attend tutorials, conference sessions, workshops, the exhibition and selected evening events.

This will not only give you the opportunity to meet leading HPC researchers and scientists, but also the chance to interact with like-minded people from other educational institutions and international businesses. This program has helped past volunteers to secure internships, PhD admissions and also jobs.

As usual, ISC 2023 will be held in a very comfortable and safe environment; we also provide accommodation for out-of-town volunteers.



Promoting Inclusivity

As a conference that’s committed to inclusivity efforts, we encourage minority STEM students to use this forum as a springboard. It’s your chance to gain insight into HPC in academia, research, and in the commercial environment.
