TREN’s fourth workshop — the Tennessee Cyberinfrastructure Planning Workshop — will bring Tennessee’s colleges and universities together on Thursday, October 8, 2026, in Nashville, TN, to develop a unified strategic plan for cyberinfrastructure. The plan will guide coordinated requests to the state, strengthen collaboration among institutions, and position Tennessee higher education for stronger competitiveness for external funding. The workshop will be professionally facilitated by Dr. Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld.
Who should attend: the CIO and VPR/VCR (or their designee) from each Tennessee institution of higher education. Space is limited to two participants per institution.
Full agenda and hotel recommendations will follow. Please hold the date and register — and if you’re not the right person to attend, forward this to your institution’s CIO and VPR/VCR.
This workshop is sponsored by Tennessee Technological University, the National Institute for Computational Sciences (NICS, UTK), and the Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education (ACCRE, Vanderbilt University), and supported by the National Science Foundation under Award No. 2430341.
Questions: Allen MacKenzie or Susmit Shannigrahi.
