The goal of the retreats is to bring together researchers from across Colorado State University to facilitate collaborative interdisciplinary research in Information Science and Technology, including the potential for development of funded research programs.
All CSU faculty, graduate students, and research staff are welcome to participate. Follow-up workshops will be planned to continue discussions initiated at Retreats.
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.

Retreat on the Scientific and Engineering Foundations of IS&T
Chairs: Sanjay Rajopadhye, Computer Science/Electrical and Computer Engineering, Louis Scharf, Electrical and Computer Engineering
May 8, 2004
Intent is to make introductions that are not yet made between various disciplines of the CSU campus, explore opportunitites for collaboration across discipline boundaries, introduce each other to new problems, and provide a forum where people can share ideas, no matter how whimsical, with others who might then help to refine or extend these ideas. The intended outcome is the beginning of a roadmap, around which CSU might shape a program of investments in Information Science and Technology, designed to enhance the scale and scope of its interdisciplinary research.
Follow-up workshops will be planned to continue discussions from this workshop. Attendance: 43 faculty.
