We are thrilled to announce this winter's CELS In-Person Priority Week. Starting Monday, December 16 – Friday, December 20th. All CELS staff, students (hybrid and onsite), postdocs, collaborators, and contractors are highly encouraged to work onsite and participate in a wide array of face-to-face collaboration and Directorate activities. This in-person week will be jam packed with Division meetings, all hands meetings, seminars and gatherings to foster crosscutting collaboration and innovation.

We want to emphasize the importance of in-person participation for an enriched and engaging experience. However, we understand that not everyone may be able to join us in person due to various constraints, we are offering some hybrid options that allow you to participate remotely.

Thursday, December 19

9:00 AM → 12:00 PM CPS Task Force Kick-Off Meeting

12:00 PM → 1:30 PM Monthly CPS Lunch Seminar

This monthly CPS lunch series provides CPS (and CELS) personnel an opportunity to gather informally and discuss recent accomplishments. A few topics will be presented each meeting spanning computational research areas and ALCF support activities (e.g. Catalyst) with plenty of time for Q&A and informal discussion. The goal of the series is to increase visibility of everyone’s efforts in computational science and grow together as a community.
Topics spanning program development efforts and opportunities for collaboration are also welcomed and this forum could easily grow into a mechanism for collaboration whereby colleagues are invited to present. It’s also a great opportunity for students and postdocs to present.
