Open Science Grid User School 2015 

Could you transform your research with vast amounts of computing? Come spend a week at the beautiful University of Wisconsin-Madison and learn how!
During the school, 27-31 July, you will learn to use high-throughput computing (HTC) systems - at your own campus or using the national Open Science Grid (OSG) - to run large-scale computing applications that are at the heart of today's cutting-edge science. Through lectures, discussions, and lots of hands-on activities with experienced OSG staff, you will learn how HTC systems work, how to run and manage lots of jobs and huge datasets to implement a scientific computing workflow, and where to turn for more information and help. Register by May 1.
