There’s NO PREREQUISITE other than an interest in helping
researchers with their computing-intensive/data-intensive
research.

(Participation in any previous Virtual Residency workshop
is NOT REQUIRED.)

Please feel free to forward this to anyone who may be
interested and appropriate.

DETAILS:

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 computing!

This is a great way to get better at a career in
helping researchers use research computing.

It’s also a great way to meet a community of fellow
research computing facilitators.
