Since 2004, the CRA-WP has been organizing the Grad Cohort Workshop in the USA for women in computing, to help them through their graduate years and beyond. Starting 2018, Grad Cohort Workshops for Indian women are being conducted by ACM-W India. These Workshops aim to reach out to Indian women graduate students in the field of computing; facilitating interactions between eminent female researchers in the field, from academia and industry, and current students. Here, through sharing some of their own experiences, women experts guide students towards a productive graduate tenure. Some questions that are likely to be discussed are how to choose a mentor, choice of research areas and questions, challenges and perseverance, honing one’s skills, scientific writing and presentation, work-life balance, spirit of collaboration, applying for postdocs/jobs, career options, and much more.

In 2022, the ACM-W India Grad Cohort Workshop is being organized in the online mode by IIT Jodhpur. Applicants can look forward to presentations on a host of research areas, mentoring & brainstorming sessions, networking opportunities, and lots more...
