Supercomputing and LIfe Sciences Symposium 2018 will be held March 2nd at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

The Supercomputing and Life Sciences (SLS) Symposium will be held on March 2 in the Wick Alumni Center on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's City Campus. The Symposium will feature experts from CyVerse, Internet2 and Center for the Advancement of Data and Research in Economics as well as researchers from across the university system.

Following the day-long symposium, there will be an evening reception and poster session featuring the UNL Faculty Jazz Trio and a cash bar. Posters covering research relevant to the QLSI mission and/or benefiting from advance computing (e.g. use of HCC, the Open Science Grid or XSEDE resources) will be displayed.

While this session is open to anyone with relevant research, current graduate students are strongly encouraged to participate.

Prizes: Top presenters will be chosen based on the quality of research and their use of HCC services and/or application of Big Data in Life Sciences. Prizes will be presented, based on attendee votes including the grand prize of a new Dell Workstation.* Additional prizes include gift cards and increased priority for HCC shared computing resources.

Registration for SLS 2018 ends on February 28th, so reserve your spot today.

*Eligibility for the Grand Prize is limited to Graduate Students only.
