Research IT Reading Group

The Research IT Reading Group has met biweekly since April 2013 to discuss topics touching support of research at UC Berkeley. Topics typically rotate among:

• campus researchers describing and discussing their computational and data-intensive research practices and needs;
• evaluation of new research methods, technologies, and campus services as candidates for support based on fit to Berkeley researchers’ needs and feasibility; and,
• avenues for collaboration among research support organizations, on campus and nationally, aimed at reaching and assisting a broader community of UC Berkeley domains and researchers.

Reading / review materials are provided a week ahead of each scheduled meeting, which may include peer-reviewed or conference papers, slide presentations, project or technology web sites, etc.  Attendees are expected to have read the readings in advance.

The Research IT reading group generally meets every two weeks, on Thursday at noon in the Academic Innovation Studio (AIS), located at 117 Dwinelle Hall. You are welcome to bring your lunch. Subscribe to the mailing list, rit_reading@lists.berkeley.edu, by sending a request (requires CalNet or Google ID login; alternately write to research-it@berkeley.edu) to receive information about the readings (usually sent out a week in advance).
