SUMMARY:Webinar | Research Applications and Workflows – Your Input Matters!
DESCRIPTION:Scientific computing is changing rapidly. Workflows are evolving from static\, linear pipelines into dynamic\, intelligent systems that shape how research is conducted across disciplines. \nTo address this transformation\, EuroCC Spain and ETP4HPC are organising an interactive webinar on the future of scientific workflows — and SURF is proud to contribute\, with three of our experts speaking at the event. \n🔍 What to expect:\n\n\nExplore how workflows are redefining the scientific method — including challenges around reproducibility\, FAIR data\, and automation. \n\n\nIdentify cross-cutting challenges in infrastructure\, software development\, and policy. \n\n\nShare your insights and help shape the upcoming ETP4HPC white paper on scientific workflows. \n\n\n🎤 Speakers:\n\n\nMarco Verdicchio (SURF) \n\n\nManuel Rodrigues (SURF) \n\n\nSagar Dolas (SURF) \n\n\nSai Narasimhamurthy (ETP4HPC) \n\n\n💬 The session is designed to be interactive — your voice and perspective matter. \n🔗 More info and registration:👉 https://etp4hpc.eu/event/etp4hpc-webinar-research-applications-workflows-insights-community-discussion/ \nLet’s co-create the future of scientific workflows in Europe.
