WORKSHOP: WiGRAPH - Women in Graphics Research 2023

WiGRAPH是一个ACM SIGGRAPH社区小组，旨在扩大计算机图形学女性研究人员的网络。它的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，从而增加在该领域从事尖端研究的女性人数。WiGRAPH提供了一系列的机会，包括研究小组、网络空间和在线文章系列，突出了鼓舞人心的女性研究人员的旅程和成就。“新星计划”是一系列研讨会，旨在为即将完成博士学位并即将进入就业市场的女性提供支持，为她们提供资源，帮助她们在该领域从事研究事业并实现目标，从而创建一个更具包容性和多样性的研究社区，推动该领域的创新和进步。该计划旨在授权和激励计算机图形学研究的年轻女性。通过一系列的研讨会和小组讨论，它提供了关于如何选择研究主题，追求研究问题以及如何在行业/学术市场中导航的实用建议。这对女性研究人员尤其重要，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体的研究人员，她们在职业生涯中面临着独特的挑战和障碍。该计划包括一系列讲习班，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。参与者也有机会相互建立网络，并与潜在的导师和赞助者建立关系，从而创建一个支持性社区，帮助女性研究人员茁壮成长。总的来说，该项目为女性研究人员提供了她们在工业界或学术界取得成功所需的工具。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
