4th National Data Service Consortium Workshop

  • October 19-21, 2015
  • San Diego Supercomputer Center

Join us in La Jolla, CA for the 4th meeting of the National Data Service (NDS) Consortium. Our theme for the meeting will be The Changing Ecosystem of Research Data: Thinking on a National Level. The organizing committee is now contacting leaders in the research data community for plenary presentations. As speakers are confirmed, we will update the website.

The first day, Monday October 19, will feature a special morning tutorial for developers on NDS Labs as well as open hacking in Labs in the afternoon. There will also be opportunities for pilot project teams and other committees to meet, develop, and plan for on-going activity. The plenary program starts on the second day, October 20.
