<br>

Swarthmore College is hosting the 3rd conference on<br>

"Research Computing at Smaller Institutions" (RCSI),<br>

June 16-17, 2026.<br>

<br>

We welcome anyone interested to attend, though content<br>

primarily will target the needs and concerns of non-R1<br>

institutions.<br>

<br>

This event continues the evolution of prior conferences on<br>

"High-Performance Computing at Liberal Arts Institutions"<br>

held in 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2020.<br>

<br>

Academic work in a variety of fields is increasingly reliant<br>

on computational analysis, and researchers, faculty, and<br>

students at institutions of all scales are looking for ways to<br>

gain access to, and effectively leverage, research and<br>

high-performance computing (HPC) resources to advance their<br>

research, pedagogical, and vocational opportunities.<br>

<br>

The ongoing premise of RCSI is the acknowledgment that:<br>

<br>

* smaller schools increasingly confront identical technical<br>

challenges related to research computing that larger<br>

institutions do, such as data storage, reproducible<br>

(and ever-more complex) workflows, collaboration, user and<br>

environment management, etc.;<br>

<br>

* smaller institutions must face such challenges without<br>

resource levels (e.g., money, time, FTE, expertise,<br>

infrastructure, and so on) available to larger institutions;<br>

<br>

and,<br>

<br>

* an open discussion of research computing challenges faced<br>

by our community of smaller institutions can foster new and<br>

beneficial ideas, opportunities and collaborations.<br>

<br>

While significant progress has been made towards democratizing<br>

access to a rich set of resources beyond R1 and similar<br>

institutions, much work remains.<br>

<br>

We invite anyone from ITS, Libraries, and any affiliated<br>

programs, departments, and staff involved with research<br>

computing support to join us for two full days to discuss<br>

these issues, to exchange ideas, and to learn from one another.<br>

<br>
