RCC Director Professor David Abramson is co-chair of this year’s eResearch Australasia conference being held in Brisbane across 17–20 October.
David will be the session chair for the Tuesday and Wednesday morning keynote talks, and will join his fellow co-chair, Frankie Stevens, in giving the conference's closing remarks on Thursday, 20 October at 4:40pm–4:50pm (AEST).
David was also involved in a pre-conference workshop on characterising Australia’s experience with research data at scale on Monday, 17 October. David presented UQRDM, The University of Queensland’s research data management platform.
Two other RCC staff will present talks at the conference, and one will be involved in a Birds of a Feather session. These are as follows:
- Tuesday, 18 October, 3:45pm–4:05pm (AEST): RCC Chief Technology Officer Jake Carroll on supply chain strategy & management for research computing throughout the pandemic.
- Wednesday, 19 October, 10:05am–11:05am (AEST): RCC Systems Administrator Michael Mallon is part of a Birds of a Feather session on institutional approaches to sensitive data — classifications versus actions and research data management versus technical requirements.
- Wednesday, 19 October, 3:50pm–4:10pm (AEST): RCC Research Fellow Dr Chao Jin on high-throughput file transport over wide area networks. This paper was also co-authored by RCC’s David Abramson and Jake Carroll.
At the conference, RCC will share both a physical and virtual exhibition booth with QCIF. If you are attending the conference, be sure to drop by either the physical or virtual booth to have a chat with staff.
The eResearch Australasia conference provides an opportunity for delegates to engage, connect and share their ideas and exemplars concerning new information-centric research capabilities, and how ICT technologies can help researchers to collaborate, collect, manage, share, process, analyse, find, understand and reuse information.
The 2022 conference is being held in a hybrid format, with the in-person component of the event held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The year’s conference is the first opportunity for Australia's eResearch community to come together in the one physical location since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
