Jefferson University, KeystoneREN, Globus, and EPOC (Texas Advanced Computing Center and ESnet) are hosting the Modern Cyberinfrastructure for Research Data Management workshop at Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA on June 17-18, 2025. This in-person workshop at Jefferson is intended for researchers who want to leverage advanced infrastructure for data management and computing, and for research computing professionals who want to realize the benefits of deploying a next-gen cyberinfrastructure to support data-intensive science.
Researchers and IT staff will learn how to manage and share large datasets, how to access and leverage remote compute and storage resources, and automate data management tasks. Systems administrators and Research Software Engineers will learn about the Science DMZ architecture, perfSONAR network measurement, and other affiliated R&E best common practices to operate modern research and education networks.
This workshop will be particularly useful to the following groups:
- Researchers, research computing administrators, and technical staff
- Campus enterprise storage infrastructure managers
- Core facility (NGS, cryoEM, fMRI, etc.) IT staff
- Developers or Research Software Engineers who are building custom research applications
Why attend?
- Simplify Your Data Management: Explore how Globus can streamline and simplify your data management processes.
- Expand your knowledge and expertise of Globus administrative controls: Deepen your understanding of Globus administration to optimize its potential for your projects.
- Experiment with New Services: Get hands-on experience with the latest Globus services, discovering innovative ways to integrate them into your workflows.
- Apply Globus in Your Research Applications: Learn practical strategies for incorporating Globus services into your research applications effectively.
- Peer Collaboration: Engage in meaningful discussions with fellow attendees, exchanging ideas and experiences on harnessing the full capabilities of Globus.
By the end of the event attendees will have a better understanding and knowledge of tools that can mitigate data management obstacles, the requirements for supporting scientific use of the network, and architectural strategies that can simplify these interactions.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills, broaden your network, and discover the transformative power of Globus in research data management.
