The NumPEx program brings together an ambitious scientific community focused on high-performance computing and open science. To strengthen collective momentum, it is essential to give a voice to young researchers: interns, doctoral students, postdocs, young contract and permanent staff. YoungPEx was created to address this challenge by building a cross-disciplinary network across the programme’s components.

The YoungPEx committee is already organising itself as a real creative laboratory. Its members aim to propose original initiatives to the programme’s management:

• Dedicated actions during general meetings
• Thematic seminars
• Welcome and integration measures for new members
• Training, communication and career reflection opportunities.

A first concrete milestone has been reached: the launch of a Discord server that provides a space for instant communication and encourages networking among young talents as soon as they arrive.

With YoungPEx, NumPEx has equipped itself with a strategic tool to strengthen the cohesion, attractiveness and visibility of its young researchers. Our next step? To roll out strong collective actions to consolidate this community and place the new generation at the heart of the NumPEx dynamic.
