Data Intensive Science and Cloud Computing Workshop
The fourth Open Science Data Cloud (OSDC) international workshop funded in part by the NSF Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) program in Amsterdam will gather young researchers and experts to discuss challenges and solutions to the growing wealth of data in all scientific fields. Participants from North and South America, Japan, and Europe, will engage in talks, hands-on tutorials, and lively discussion. We are looking forward to the workshop as an opportunity to develop new insights, new understanding, and lasting international research collaborations.
Here is the Final Workshop Agenda.

Participants are required to bring their laptops (Windows, Linux or OS/X).
