Workforce Development  + Training

Committed to empowering research students, staff and faculty with the skills they need to hit the ground running with computational research, IDSC provides a variety of training opportunities. Announcements are made through various central email list-servs, UNews, and other methods. Registration usually opens a couple of weeks before the event, and they are usually oversubscribed, so register early to avoid disappointment.
