Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

The goal of the symposium is to engage the public with data science at NIH now, and in the future.

The highlights of the meeting include:

  • A dialogue on open science with NIH Director, Dr. Francis Collins and former NIH director, Dr. Harold Varmus
  • Demonstrations of the 6 prototypes for the Open Science Prize, a worldwide competition to leverage Open Data for biomedical discovery
  • A keynote lecture from John Wilbanks, head commons officer at Sage Bionetworks

The meeting is open to the public and free to attend (although registration is required).

If you have any questions about the event, please contact Elizabeth Kittrie at Elizabeth.Kittrie@nih.gov
