2019 GeoEDF Stakeholder Workshop

GeoEDF has recently been funded by the NSF CSSI program for five years to develop a data framework to provide seamless connections among platforms, data and tools, making large scientific and social geospatial datasets directly usable in scientific models and tools through a plug-n-play data connector/processor framework.  In this first stakeholder workshop, the project team will provide an update on the project activities, including the framework design, and seek feedback from workshop participants on (1) project direction and execution, (2) broadening the range of use cases and potential future applications, and (3) connection to other CI and data efforts, through presentations and breakout discussions. We are looking forward to this opportunity to interact with our advisory board members and potential stakeholders of the project.

The workshop will provide travel support for those attendees who need it. The workshop will begin on the morning of Monday, October 7th and will conclude at noon on Tuesday, October 8th.
