OSG applicants for the Open Science Grid (OSG) User School 2017, which takes place July 17-21 at the beautiful University of Wisconsin in Madison. Participants will learn to use high throughput computing (HTC) to harness vast amounts of computing power for research, applicable to nearly any field of study (e.g., physics, chemistry, engineering, life sciences, earth sciences, agricultural and animal sciences, economics, social sciences, medicine, and more).

Using lectures, discussions, roleplays, and lots of hands-on work with OSG experts in HTC, participants will learn how HTC systems work, how to run and manage many jobs and huge datasets, how to implement a realistic scientific computing workflow, and where to turn for help and more info.
Worried about costs? All basic travel, hotel, and food costs are covered for applicants who are selected to attend. This is a valuable offer! Ideal candidates are graduate students whose research involves or could involve large-scale computing — work that cannot be done on one laptop or a handful of computers. OSG will also accept post-doctoral students, faculty, staff, and advanced undergraduates, so make a strong case for yourself regardless of your current role!
