WORKSHOP: WiGRAPH - Women in Graphics Research 2023

WiGRAPH是一个ACM SIGGRAPH社区组织，旨在扩大计算机图形学领域女性研究人员的网络。其使命是通过创造支持性环境，使女性研究人员能够相互交流，寻求榜样、指导和鼓励，从而增加该领域从事尖端研究的女性人数。WiGRAPH提供了一系列机会，包括研究小组、网络空间和一系列在线文章，突出了鼓舞人心的女性研究人员的旅程和成就。后起之秀计划是一系列旨在增强即将完成博士学位并即将进入就业市场的女性的能力的研讨会，为她们提供资源，帮助她们在该领域追求研究职业生涯并实现目标，从而创建一个更具包容性和多样性的研究社区，能够推动该领域的创新和进步。该计划旨在增强和激励年轻女性在计算机图形学研究方面的能力。通过一系列的研讨会和小组讨论，它就如何选择研究主题、追寻研究问题以及在行业/学术市场中导航提供了实用的建议。这对女研究人员尤其重要，尤其是那些来自代表性不足群体的女研究人员，她们在职业生涯中面临着独特的挑战和障碍。该计划包括一系列研讨会，涵盖网络、谈判和职业发展等主题，所有这些都与女性研究人员有关。参与者还有机会相互建立网络，并与潜在的导师和赞助商建立关系，创建一个能够帮助女性研究人员茁壮成长的支持性社区。总体而言，该计划为女性研究人员提供了她们在工业或学术领域取得成功所需的工具。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

WiGRAPH is an ACM SIGGRAPH Community Group that aims to broaden the network of women researchers in Computer Graphics. Its mission is to increase the number of women pursuing cutting-edge research in the field by creating supportive environments where women researchers can interact with each other and seek role models, mentorship, and encouragement. WiGRAPH offers a range of opportunities, including research panels, networking spaces, and an online article series that highlights the journeys and accomplishments of inspiring women researchers. The Rising Stars program is a series of workshops designed to empower women who are finishing their PhD and about to enter the job market, providing them with resources that can help them pursue research careers in the field and achieve their goals, thereby creating a more inclusive and diverse research community that can drive innovation and progress in the field.The program is designed to empower and inspire young women in Computer Graphics research. Through a series of workshops and panels, it provides practical advice on how to pick research topics, pursue research questions, and navigate the industry/academic markets. This is particularly important for women researchers, especially those from underrepresented groups, who face unique challenges and obstacles in their careers. The program includes a range of workshops covering topics such as networking, negotiation, and career development, all of which are relevant to women researchers. Participants also have the opportunity to network with each other and build relationships with potential mentors and sponsors, creating a supportive community that can help women researchers thrive. Overall, the program provides women researchers with the tools they need to succeed, whether in industry or academia.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
