Scientific Exchange + Big Data

The UK Science and Innovation Network funded a set of workshops between Cambridge, University of Southampton and UChicago through the Reseach Computing Center (RCC) to foster collaboration and exchange of information about research computing capabilities, resource models and data management implementation. The three universities looked at ways they can collaboratively tackle the enormous challenges associated with big data and computation. Managing big data has become fundamental to progress in science. Furthermore, science is increasingly more collaborative in order to be transformative. That challenge is best met by institutional and often international cooperation.

What we did for them:

• Engage external partners and community leaders
• Develop programs and initiatives
• Help funders achieve their funding visions
