Synergies & Shared Challenges

On January 23rd, NSO and SURF are organizing the seminar: “Big Data Processing in Astronomy and Earth Observation: Synergies & Shared Challenges”, bringing together the Astronomy and Earth Observation communities to discuss shared challenges and best practices.

Both research communities share similar challenges, and the seminar will focus on how innovative Big Data projects in Astronomy and Earth Observation deal with:

• data processing and analysis: how to get from raw data to science/analysis-ready data products and scientific workflows?
• data storage and management: how to manage distributed and heterogenous datasets and storage systems following Open Science and FAIR principles?
• emerging technologies: how to use AI, Quantum Computing, HPC, exascale computing to tackle Big Data challenges?

Practical details

• Date: 23-01-2024
• Time: 10:00 – 17:00
• Location: SURF Utrecht
• Costs: free of charge (priority given to SURF members)
