Since 1987, OSC has maintained a robust community. Until recently, this community was primarily organized and supported by the OSC Statewide Users Group (SUG). SUG is now transforming into the OSC Research Symposium and the OSC Community Briefing, aiming to cultivate community engagement in new, more adaptive ways.
About the OSC Community Briefing
Providing training initiatives and expanding access to knowledge are integral components of OSC's efforts.
During the Community Briefing, OSC will share updates, host training opportunities, and open the call for presentations for the next Research Symposium.
The OSC Community Briefing meets once a year in the fall and all OSC clients are welcome to attend. OSC will send communications about how to participate in the event in early fall 2025.
The OSC Community
The success of the Ohio Supercomputer Center and, in turn, our community depends upon the participation of Ohio's researchers. Anyone who utilizes OSC resources and services is a part of the OSC community and can engage in the community by:
- advising on computational and large data resources and software applications acquisitions
- assisting in establishing policies (i.e., scheduling, quotas, etc.)
- advocating institutional concerns and needs to OSC
- championing OSC initiatives at home institutions
- assisting in developing collaborative inter-institutional activities, including research and funding opportunities, that promote and provide mutual benefits.
Find more resources for engaging below. If you have additional questions please contact Brian Guilfoos.
