2014 OSG User School - application deadline extended

Applications for the 2014 OSG User School are due soon. To make it easier

to apply, we extended the application deadline as late as possible: Sunday,

April 13th. But there is no reason to wait ... apply today for acceptance

to the School and for financial support!





ANNOUNCING THE 2014 OPEN SCIENCE GRID USER SCHOOL!



If you could access thousands, maybe millions of hours of computing, how

would it transform your research? What discoveries would you make?



We are looking for qualified students to attend the 2014 Open Science Grid

(OSG) User School, where they will learn how to use high throughput

computing (HTC) to harness vast amounts of computing power for research.



Using lectures, discussions, roleplays, and lots of hands-on work with OSG

experts in high throughput computing, students will learn how HTC systems

work, how to run and manage many jobs and huge datasets to implement a full

scientific computing workflow, and where to turn for help and more info.



Worried about costs? Successful applicants will get financial support to

attend the OSG School (July 7-10) at the beautiful University of Wisconsin

in Madison.



Ideal candidates are science, technology, engineering, and mathematics

(STEM) graduate students whose research demands large-scale computing.

Also, we will consider applications from faculty, staff, and advanced

undergraduates, so make a good case for yourself!



IMPORTANT DATES



Application Period: March 10 - April 13 (EXTENDED!)
