The 2025 YoungPEx general meeting took place from Wednesday, November 12 to Friday, November 14, 2025, at the ENSEEIHT premises in Toulouse. This event was the opportunity to discuss its objectives, with a particular focus on future actions regarding the environmental impact of HPC and social and gender equality.
The YoungPEx committee is an initiative from NumPEx to bring together young researchers together to discuss the future of high-performance computing and open science. This event was an important first step to energize the committee and talk about topics that will be key in the future. Various workshops were organized:
A workshop on the environmental impact of HPC
led by Georges Da Costa, Université de Toulouse professor and Exa-SoFt member
A general assembly to discuss the YoungPEx committee’s upcoming actions and the renewal of organizing members
A workshop on the theme of social and gender inequalities
Wednesday, 12 November 2025
This first day of workshop was led by Georges Da Costa, Université de Toulouse professor and Exa-SoFt member
On the last day, the main topic was the Equity and Equality in Science. Two different sessions were organized: the Monopoly of inequalities, a game inspired by the famous Monopoly, meant to highlight that everyone doesn’t have the same chance to succeed, and a round table session.
These sessions addressed a state of the art on the matter of equality and egality, and and produced some recommendations and warning signs to identify or prevent further inequalities in the NumPEx community.
