From 28 March 2022 to 1st April 2022, N8 CIR organized the Digital Research Infrastructure(DRI) Retreat in the University of Manchester. You might find more about the N8 partnership here.
The goal of N8 CIR is to create a Centre of Excellence in Computationally Intensive Research, sharing methods, skills and facilities to underpin the strategic research objectives of the N8 universities.
Topics and Panelists
One of my favorites discussions was about the academia. I met Dr. Sarah Harris who is a passionate biologist who also is a user of High Performance Computing (HPC) resources, and RSE services.
Unconference Activities
One of the activities I enjoyed the most was the unconference. We listed in an online document our ideas of how to improve different issues such as sustainable learning, interaction in a team, as others.
Networking
I was able to meet a great mathematician who helped me with some Linear Algebra concepts. Felt good in using again chalkboard at the university. Really appreciate the kind help received during the event.
Exquisite Food and Impeccable Service
The organization arranged our stay at Hyatt, and we all enjoyed fine catering and dinners.
Getting around the city
Manchester is definitely a jam-packed city with ancient and modern architectures. I was so happy to walk again in this marvelous place!
Great organization! Again… Congratulations! I was very happy to meet great people and professionals within the UK!
Sólo para Mí!
