UVA Research Computing, including the Data Analytics Center and the Digital Technology Core, is proud to announce our Annual Research Computing Exhibition, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21, at the School of Data Science.
Our Exhibition includes a judged poster competition, with travel awards presented to select finalists. If you have used Research Computing resources to support your research, we invite you to submit a poster.
Selected finalists will be recognized with a travel award that can be used for professional travel such as conferences, meetings of professional associations, or other travel related to your research.
- First Place: $3,000 travel voucher
- Second Place: $2,000 travel voucher
- Third Place: $1,000 travel voucher
Posters should reflect how you have used Research Computing resources to support your research, including collaboration with Research Computing staff or utilization of systems, such as Rivanna, Afton, or Ivy.
Although all researchers using RC resources are invited to participate, the lead author must be someone other than a faculty member to be eligible for an award.
Poster Submissions Due March 20
Submit your poster PDF through the Poster Competition Submission by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 20, in one of the following categories:
- Biological and Health Sciences
- Physical Sciences and Engineering
- Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities
- Other
Participants must print their poster and bring it to the event.
The judges will review the PDFs prior to the event to select finalists. During the event, judges will visit finalists’ posters and ask questions related to your research to determine award winners.
The PDFs and posters will be judged on the following criteria:
- Innovative use of computational tools and techniques
- Effective communication of how RC resources were used in the project
- Effective communication of the importance of this scientific investigation
Prizes will be awarded at the end of the Exhibition.
