[CRYOLIST] Data Hackathons: Lessons Learned + Best Practices Workshop

Dear Cryolisters,

Please join us for the Data Hackathons: Lessons Learned & Best Practices Workshop Sept 15, 2–5pm MST, featured as part of the first-ever International Data Week, Denver, CO!

Co-hosted by the West Big Data Innovation Hub (WBDIH), Research Data Alliance (RDA), and Federation of Earth Science Information Partners(ESIP)

By convening Earth scientists, data scientists, engineers, designers and other stakeholders to work on challenges with "marathon"-like intensity, data-focused hackathons can spark meaningful collaborations and produce viable solutions. This hands-on, interactive workshop seeks to empower our community leaders with lessons learned and best practices from hackathon organizers and participants. Workshop attendees will meet and collaborate with other innovation enthusiasts from academia, government, nonprofits and industry as we capture insights about the design, implementation, and scalability of data-focused hackathons. 

Just think, how could a well-planned hackathon move the Cryo-community forward?? Join the conversation with #datahackworkshop!

Register HERE for the International Data Week / Research Data Alliance Plenary 8  —  the RDA registration includes the Data Hackathons Workshop.

Early Career Researcher Travel Grants are available from WBDIH and the Computing Community Consortium (CCC).
