Travel: WINS Travel Funds in Support of SCinet at SC23

该项目支持六名WINS志愿者参加SCinet活动，以支持定于2023年11月12日至17日在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的2023超级计算会议（SC23）。志愿者将获得会议网络基础建设的经验。WINS努力在每年的入选群体中拥有不同的组织和申请人背景，预计2023年的群体将是自该项目启动以来最多样化的，其中包括许多来自代表性不足的群体的参与者。WINS志愿者将参加SCinet，这是世界上最快和最先进的计算机网络之一，支持每年的超级计算会议（SC）。预期的结果包括：WINS SC23志愿者发展新的技术技能，接触到标准工作环境之外的技术或设备，增加他们的专业网络，提高协作和沟通技巧，将在SCinet期间学到的技能应用到他们的家乡机构，并获得未来的专业发展机会。由提案资助的旅费将继续扩大和扩大网络工程师和信息技术专业人员的知识和培训，他们希望建立专门知识并继续在网络和计算机系统方面的教育和职业生涯。通过这个项目，国家科学基金会的使命得到了加强，为多样化的劳动力提供了更多的培训和就业机会。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。

This project supports six WINS volunteers to participate in SCinet activities in support of the 2023 Supercomputing Conference (SC23) scheduled November 12 - 17, 2023 in Denver, CO. Volunteers will gain hands on experience in the ground-up construction of the conference network. WINS strives to have a diverse representation of organizations and applicant backgrounds in the group selected each year, with the 2023 group expected to be the most diverse since the start of the program, including many participants from underrepresented groups.WINS volunteers will participate in SCinet, one of the fastest and most advanced computer networks in the world which supports the annual Supercomputing Conference (SC). Expected outcomes include WINS SC23 volunteers developing new technical skills, gaining exposure to technologies or equipment outside their standard work environment, adding to their professional network, improving collaboration and communication skills, applying the skills developed during SCinet at their home institution, and access to future professional development opportunities. The travel funded by the proposal will continue the broadening and expansion of knowledge and training for network engineers and information technology professionals who desire to build expertise and continue their education and careers in network and computer systems. Through this program, the National Science Foundation’s mission is strengthened by opening more training and career opportunities for a diverse workforce.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.
