MIDWEST BIG DATA HUB DIGITAL AGRICULTURE
ALL HANDS MEETING/UAS WORKSHOP hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln: September 20 & 21, 2018
This is the second year for an event that is expected to become a preeminent regional meeting focused on the methodologies and technologies that enable Digital Agriculture, the associated data challenges, and the resulting insights into complex agricultural and agroecological systems.
The focus of the All Hands Meeting will include several ongoing projects among biologists, engineers, computer scientists, and allies encompass UAS systems, plant sciences, and the future of education in agriculture. These projects emphasize how we collect and organize data, how we process it, and how we use it to develop statistical and conceptual frameworks to understand complexity in agricultural systems, from molecular to ecological scales. Meeting participants from any discipline or organization are invited to display a poster to help initiate discussion about their specific interests. Posters should address themes relevant to big data in UAS and Plant Sciences, including education and workforce development. Prizes will be awarded via audience participation voting. The event will be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, East campus.
The one-day, hands on workshop on UAS in agriculture will cover the use of UAS systems and basic data acquisition and processing at the Eastern Nebraska Research and Extension Center (ENREC), 1071 County Road G, Ithica, Nebraska (near Mead). *Space is limited, registration for the workshop will close when full*
Students, Academics, and Industry Partners are invited to sign up for either/both the UAS Workshop and All Hands Meeting. Cost varies by participant, and limited travel awards are available for faculty/students presenting posters at the meeting. The registration page has options for attending the workshop, meeting and poster session (individuals displaying a poster must register for the meeting). Lunch will be provided at both events.
Organizers include UND, KSU, ISU, UArk, USDA, PrecisionHawk, and PepsiCo.
