ICIS Education Program Virtual Workshop: “Understanding CIResources and Applications (UCIRAs)” Promote the use of cyber-resources available to the community. The workshop is delivered via standard videoconferencing technologies. Industry/Government Seminar Series (IGo. SS) Engage communities in private and public sectors to participate in cyber-infrastructures activities. Undergraduate and Graduate Curricula Courses in core topics relating to computing and informatics.
