OSG School 2026: Apply now and learn to harness large-scale computing for research

[chtc-users@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi CHTC users, 

Applications are open for the 2026 OSG School, and we invite you to apply! 

https://osg-htc.org/school-2026/

The OSG School is a weeklong summer school in high throughput computing (HTC), hosted here in Madison and attended by researchers from all over the US. The material we cover goes into more detail than CHTC's online guides and typical support, making this a great opportunity to deepen your understanding of HTC methods. If your work would benefit from learning more about running HTC workloads, we strongly encourage you to apply. The school is open to anyone doing research in the United States, so please share with your colleagues and collaborators if you think it would benefit them. 

 

See the full official announcement, as well as application details below. Applications close March 20 and you need a letter of recommendation, so don’t wait if you’re planning to apply! 

 

Best, 

The CHTC Facilitation Team

ANNOUNCING THE OSG SCHOOL 2026!

https://osg-htc.org/school-2026/

Could you transform your research with extra computing capacity beyond your

laptop or lab computers?  Do you need help managing your research computing

workloads with automation?  If you run or support research workloads that

can be described by lists of independent computing tasks, we can help!  For

example: https://osg-htc.org/services/open_science_pool.html

We are seeking applicants for the OSG School 2026, to be held July 13-17 at

the beautiful University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Apply by March 20!

https://osg-htc.org/school-2026/

And consider attending Throughput Computing Week 2026, in-person in Madison

or remotely: https://osg-htc.org/htc26

The OSG School teaches you how to use high-throughput computing effectively

and get a research workload up and running.  We use lectures, demos, hands-

on exercises, personal consulting with OSG experts, and even roleplaying.

Past participants have come from physics, chemistry, engineering, math, bio

and life sciences, earth sciences, agricultural and animal sciences, social

sciences, economics, medicine, and more.

Ideal candidates are:

* Researchers (especially graduate students and post-docs) for whom large-

scale computing is a key part of the research process;

* Research support staff who work with current or potential users of high

throughput computing;

* Instructors (at the post-secondary level) who are ready to integrate high

throughput computing into their research based curriculum.

We aim to pay all base travel, hotel, and food costs for applicants whom we

invite to attend.

This is an in-person event, and we strive to provide a healthy environment

for all.
