About: Decades ago, it was hard to imagine the scale at which Advanced Research Cyberinfrastructure (ARC) at any university would drive the innovation and enhance its research capabilities. Today, ARC is playing increasingly important role in research involving data, computation, communication, and information sharing. By providing cutting-edge opportunities to researchers, it enhances faculty competitiveness among peer organizations.  Due to the fast pace of ever-changing technology, however, envisaging the future requirements of the ARC  is a daunting exercise. Infrastructure planning requires inputs from various segments across the university especially from the early career researchers who are at the forefront of the use of technology in research. This panel discussion on “Current and future requirements for Advanced Research Cyberinfrastructure” is part of the exercise to get the feedback from the diverse community of early career researchers from the UCLA campus.

*Since we need the count for lunch, please make sure to RSVP if you plan to attend the fruitful discussion.
