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 Research Cyberinfrastructure (CI)!
128 research computing facilitators from 84 institutions in 37 US states and territories and 3 other countries have already participated in the workshops, and over 100 have participated in our twice-monthly calls.
Clarifying, since this question has come up in the past: You *DON’T* have to any affiliation with the Clemson-led ACI-REF/CaRC effort, in order to participate in the 2017 Virtual Residency — though of course anyone in that group is welcome to
apply!
The workshop will begin Sunday evening with a a welcome/introductory session.
We’ll then run all day each day for the full week, finishing Saturday before lunch.
(This year, we *MAY* decide to end Friday at dinnertime instead.)
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.
Below is the agenda from the 2016 workshop, to give a sense of the kinds of things we plan to cover in 2017 (which will be similar but not identical):
