The ICS Chairs are excited to announce the 1st Junior Program Committee (Junior PC) for ICS 2027, an initiative to train the next generation of HPC reviewers. It offers early-career researchers (senior PhD students and postdocs) who have not yet served on ICS's technical research track PC a chance to gain reviewing experience and learn from senior researchers in the field. Junior PC members participate fully in reviews and online discussions, but do not attend the PC meeting or take part in final decisions.

Before reviewing begins, Junior PC members will also attend a one-hour seminar led by the PC Chairs and General Chair that explains how the review process works, sets expectations for high-quality reviews, and leaves time for questions.

ICS 2027 Junior PC Self-Nomination Form . If interested, please fill out the form by October 15, 2026. ICS 2027 PC Chairs will reach out by October 30, 2026 to selected nominees only.
