ARC 2023: COVID-19 Wins and Lessons

In April, the Center for Research Computing held our biennial symposium exploring the ways that computing-driven research responded to the myriad aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic with two national keynote speakers, along with researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon.

There will also be a poster competition for Pitt graduates and undergraduates with three $750 travel prizes.
