Research Workshops are meetings that are internal workshops on focused topic areas faculty propose, for the purpose of growing CSU IS&T research groups. Each workshop may include an external guest speaker, Workshops differ from Research Retreats in terms of having a much more narrow scope of technical area(s) and a smaller attendance.

Spring 2013
Big Data Forum
Chair: Dawn Paschal, University Libraries, CSU
April 18, 2013
How do scientists, scholars, technologists, librarians, and others in academia collaborate to effectively manage large volumes of structured and unstructured data? What is the social and technical infrastructure needed to effectively support research data management at the campus level? How do we collaborate to provide new services? Join us for a discussion of key issues and challenges presented in managing and preserving scholarly and scientific data in the academic environment.
