We are a home for Earth science data and computing professionals. Our sessions bring together the community for hands-on, interdisciplinary deep dives as we explore "Bridging Divides: Data, Technology, Community" this year. Learn more about this theme on the ESIP Meetings page.
Session and plenary recordings will be published on the ESIP YouTube Channel.
New projects bring new technical skill needs at every career stage. Through small projects, prototyping, and community input, programs like the ESIP Lab and the USGS Community for Data Integration (CDI) provide pathways for researchers to experiment with technology development in a low-stakes environment, gaining skills to leverage new data, tools, and AI technologies. This session brings together program managers, funded PIs, and other ESIP attendees to share lessons learned in building technical capacity. Goals include helping attendees understand how these programs differ from normal funded projects, presenting what leads to success, and gathering input on what would help attendees succeed.
Audience USGS Community for Data Integration seed-funded project members; ESIP Lab members; anyone interested in learning more by applying for or using the products of these two programs
