TRIPODS PI meeting

A gathering of leaders of the institutes funded under NSF’s TRIPODS program since 2017

Venue: Zoom and gather.town.

Thu 6/10/21: 11:30-2 EST and 3-5:30 EST (5 hours)  •  Fri 6/11/21: 11:30-2 EST and 3-5:30 EST (5 hours)

Format
  • One 15-minute “research highlight” talk from each of the current 15 HDR Phase 1s and two such talks from the 2 Phase 2s. (13 mins + 2 min questions each). [6 hours approx]
    Each talk focuses on one particular research topic. It’s NOT a survey talk or overview of TRIPODS research at your institute – that belongs in the poster session.

  • Panel session on “major challenges in fundamental data science” with 5 panelists – 2 from the Phase 2s and 3 from Phase 1. [1 hour]

  • Panel of experts from industry on “adoption of fundamental data science methodology in industry – trends and needs” [1 hour]

  • Poster session: one per institute, sketching the range of activities undertaken by that institution, in research / education / outreach. [1.25 hours]  
    Posters will be available for browsing in gather.town throughout the meeting.

Panel Nominations:

If you wish to be a panelist in the “major challenges” panel, please submit a 200-word abstract to the meeting co-chairs by 5/20/21. (If we receive more nominations than there are slots, a selection process involving all currently-funded TRIPODS institutes will be conducted.)

Panelists in the “industry” panel should be industry affiliates of a currently funded TRIPODS institute, or possibly members of an institute with a joint academic-industry appointment. Please mail your suggestions to the organizers, with a few words on what topics the nominee could cover.

Poster Submission:

Please submit your poster (one per institute) by

June 7, 2021.
