<br>

(1) For the Research Computing Facilitation workshop:<br>

<br>

Does your institution have lots of researchers and educators<br>

who want to use advanced computing, but need some help<br>

learning how?<br>

<br>

You or someone at your institution can learn to be<br>

more effective at helping researchers and educators<br>

use research computing!<br>

<br>

This is a great way to start, get better at, a career in<br>

helping researchers use research computing.<br>

<br>

It's also a great way to meet a community of fellow<br>

research computing facilitators.<br>

<br>

(2) For the Becoming an Institution Research Computing Leader<br>

workshop:<br>

<br>

Are you ready to move up as a Research Computing professional?<br>

Have you been considering how to get to the next level?<br>

<br>

Join us to learn key skills for institutional research computing<br>

leadership!<br>
