Description
Summary:<p dir="ltr">The Midwest Research Computing and Data Consortium is the Midwestern hub of research computing and data infrastructure professionals, and its purpose is to build a community among cyberinfrastructure professionals who share a strong regional identity in order to share information, solve problems, and advocate for important community-driven needs. The Midwest Research Computing and Data Consortium’s organization and plans are founded upon the Community Participation Model in which the organization moves from principally serving as an information sharing hub to achieving transformational objectives. To actualize the goals, the consortium will use a set of programmatic accelerators to energize the community. Additionally, the materials to be developed and disseminated will enable and empower research computing and data professionals to communicate more effectively with key stakeholders. The theme of the consortium’s efforts is that regional stakeholders working together in a trusted setting can help each other and the field. This is by working collectively on topics of mutual interest, by onboarding organizations that find value in the mission of the organization, by sharing information transparently, and by providing opportunities for cyberinfrastructure professionals in collaborating organizations to contribute, to be mentored, to belong to a cohort, and to become leaders.</p>
