2022 CRA Career Mentoring Workshop – Applications Open


The Computing Research Association will offer an in-person Career Mentoring Workshop, February 24-25, 2022, in Washington, D.C. This workshop provides advice and mentoring activities for those starting an academic computing research career. Most attendees are in their first or second year as assistant professors. The workshop will include a series of panels, plus valuable opportunities to network with other participants, CRA board members, senior researchers and representatives from government agencies. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss one pagers on their research with NSF CISE Program Directors. There is a registration fee of $450 for CRA member departments and $650 for non-CRA member departments for the in-person workshop.

In the next few weeks, we will be announcing the full agenda which will be similar to the 2020 agenda available here. Click here to apply. The workshop application deadline is December 10, 2021.

CRA policy requires that attendees at in-person CRA events must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and abide by CDC guidance on masking and social distancing.  CRA may record some sessions for those unable to attend in person, but the real value of the event comes from the ability to ask questions and interact with the speakers, board members and the other participants, so please plan to attend in person if possible.
