*Summer Computational Institute 2014* National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC)
Annapolis, Maryland July 7–11, 2014 Research into the complex problems of human–environment interactions requires managing, analyzing, and visualizing large and/or diverse data sets. In addition, performing these tasks is increasingly a team effort, requiring collaborative work in virtual environments. The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC), funded by a National Science Foundation grant to the University of Maryland, invites applications from small teams of researchers for a one-week Computational Institute on conducting data-driven, socio-environmental synthesis research. The workshop will offer participants hands-on training in managing the lifecycle of their data and code with a focus on using open source tools, including R. Topics will include, but are not limited to: § best practices and techniques for collaborative code development; § developing and testing code for data management, modeling, and analysis; and § visualizing and disseminating results. SESYNC will cover eligible travel expenses, such as airfare and accommodations, for all participants. *More Information* For complete details and instructions on how to apply, visit: www.sesync.org/opportunities/computational-institute-2014 Applications are due by April 30 at 5 pm Eastern Time. Enrollment is limited. *Melissa Andreychek* Communications Coordinator The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) University of Maryland www.sesync.org mandreyc...@sesync.org (410) 919-4990
