OSC Research Symposium


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 has transformed into the OSC Research Symposium and the OSC Community Briefing, aiming to cultivate community engagement in new, more adaptive ways.

About the OSC Research Symposium

Interaction amongst individuals in the research community is central for the advancement of computational methods within and across disciplines and institutions.

At the OSC Research Symposium, OSC invites our users and non-users to contribute valuable information through various means, including posters, flash talks, birds of a feather sessions, and OSC-facilitated breakout sessions. The Symposium also allows OSC to collect feedback so the Center can continue to provide a productive environment for research.

The OSC Research Symposium meets once a year in the spring and all are are welcome to attend.

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.
