Do you help researchers compute with data? The Data-Facing Track of the People Network brings together people from research computing groups, libraries, research institutes, and other organizations who support data-enabled research. Many of us are also Researcher-Facing, but this track is an opportunity to discuss the varied challenges of working with data.
Topics include:
- Data science support
- Bioinformatics, statistics, GIS, and other support
- Data visualization
- Data management and curation
- Data workflows
- Data transfer and networks
- Data collection and production
- Working with big data
- And more, as determined by our members!
We connect via monthly calls and an email list.
