(Onsite applications have closed.) Please feel free to forward this to anyone who may be interested and appropriate.
DETAILS:
Does your institution have lots of researchers and educators who want to use advanced computing, but need some help learning how?
You or someone at your institution can learn to be more effective at helping researchers and educators use Cyberinfrastructure (CI)!
Clarifying, since this question has come up in the past:
You *DON’T* have to any affiliation with the Clemson-led ACI-REF effort, in order to participate in the 2016 Virtual esidency — though of course anyone in that group is welcome to apply!
REGISTRATION COST: ZERO
The workshop will begin Sunday evening with a a welcome/introductory session. We’ll then run all day each day for the full week, with a break Wednesday afternoon, finishing Saturday before lunch. There’ll be NO registration fee for the workshop.
Workshop participants will be expected to give a brief presentation (5 minutes) on a project that they intend to carry out at their home institution after the workshop ends. (This includes remote participants.)
Workshop participants will also be expected to commit to participate in the following:
a Virtual Residency conference call of one hour roughly every other week during the regular academic year, for the next two academic years;
the Virtual Residency mailing list;
a second summer workshop, in the subsequent year.
Here’s the agenda from the 2015 workshop, to give a sense of the kinds of things we plan to cover in 2016 (which will be similar but not identical): (http://www.oscer.ou.edu/acirefvirtres2015/)
