CDI Workshop: Open Data for Open Science
The CDI holds in-person workshops every two years. These meetings are a crucial step for focusing people, resources, and Bureau-wide efforts across the USGS on data integration tools and services, data and information management, and computational methods. Participants join to grow their expertise in handling scientific data, to propose collaborative paths to solve data challenges, and to share knowledge with their network of peers.
The 2023 CDI Workshop will be held from May 2-5th, 2023 at the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
To receive updates on the workshop and other CDI events, sign up for our mailing list.
