Building Engagement (BE) was created for people from all walks of life in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and to encourage participation and cooperation within the scientific community. Beginning in 2015, Sustainable Horizons Institute (SHI) has organized programs at each of the bi-annual Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Conferences on Computational Science and Engineering. Due to the program’s success, SHI was asked to expand to other conferences and beginning in 2022 has been part of the SIAM Mathematics of Data Science conference series. We are excited about the 10th anniversary of the program at CSE 2025.
During the week-long conference, participants attend a rich scientific program that includes numerous interdisciplinary technical sessions, plenaries, and discussions that help advance knowledge and skill sets. The program also fosters a sense of belonging in the community through a program orientation, mentoring, small learning groups known as “Guided Affinity Groups,” and motivational workshops/activities.
