Considering a Career in Engineering Academia?
Trailblazers in Engineering (TBE) are workshops to prepare future trailblazing faculty in engineering with a focus on preparing outstanding scholars who are also committed to increasing the success of underrepresented communities of engineers. Trailblazers in Engineering Fellows are selected not only for their outstanding scholarly achievements but also for their potential impact in expanding representation and diversity in engineering.
The virtual workshop will provide Fellows the ability to network with leading faculty in engineering, thought leaders, program managers at key federal funding agencies, Purdue Engineering heads, and of course, each other. Participants will also meet current Trailblazers and benefit from their inspiring keynote talks.
TBE 2021 will be held virtually October 19 – 22, 2021.
Reasons to Attend
- Network with leading trailblazing faculty in engineering, thought leaders, program managers at key federal funding agencies, Purdue Engineering heads, and scientists who will present keynote speeches and talks throughout the program.
- Gain insight into what academic success will look like post-pandemic.
- Participate in panel discussions.
- Why choose an academic career?
- How to apply & interview?

Global Young Scientists Summit 2022
Georgia Tech has been invited to nominate up to 10 students and/or postdoctoral researchers to participate and 10 to view the tenth edition of the Global Young Scientists Summit (GYSS) in Singapore in January 2022. GYSS is an annual multidisciplinary summit that brings together eminent scientific minds and young scientists to foster the exchange among scientists of different generations, cultures and disciplines. Speakers comprising recipients of the Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, Millennium Technology Prize and Turing Award and other distinguished scientists, interact with participants, comprising PhD students and postdoctoral fellows from all over the world. The Summit is an opportunity for leaders and students to address global challenges and needs. The Summit provides a platform for researchers to build a global research network.
The President of the Republic of Singapore has served as the patron of the Summit. Singapore will provide hospitality for participants that will include accommodations, conference costs, social activities, meals, and local transportation between accommodation, conference sites, and social activities. You may refer to the event website for information on past Summits. More information is available on the website

• not be older than 35 years of age at the time of the Summit,
• show a genuine interest in science and research,
• show a strong commitment to their principal field of studies and to interdisciplinary work,
• receive the endorsement of an organization that was invited to provide nominees
• not have participated in previous Global Young Scientists Summits
• not yet have a permanent position (scientists with permanent positions, in particular on the professor level, will in general not be admitted to the Summit) - Required nomination materials are as follows:
