Workshop: Community

February 28 2023 (Online) - 8:00am/5pm MST

Community partners are critical in shaping our research and education directions: they serve as "hubs" in the PanCommunity network to collectively, help

  • identify the needs of communities, including under-represented groups, at different scales,

  • define technology scenarios, provide testbeds for the technology products, and potentially share data and use scenarios,

  • provide feedback on technology implementation of research projects as well as social and policy issues,  and

  • identify results to be transferred to community stakeholders and to recommend technology transfer mechanisms.

Every community takes a different personality determined by the goals and participants. This workshop will set the charter for the community outreach efforts, determine critical attributes, and will focus on, among others, the following questions and challenges:

  • Who are the key academic, industrial, governmental, and NGO stakeholders and what are the best mechanisms to engage them?

  • What are the key services we can provide to the community to provide for maximal impact?

  • How should the community network be expanded?
