• Learn about High-Performance Computing with Free Online Training.

    High-performance computing (HPC) is essential to research disciplines, enabling scientists, researchers, engineers, and scholars to take on the grand challenges that benefit science and society. Develop your HPC skills by participating in free self-paced courses and by viewing archived training materials offered by NCSA's HPC-Moodle. (What is Moodle?) View the Upcoming Training Events to find live training events and webinars.  We also recommend the training offered by our ACCESS-CI collaborators and Illinois's CITL Data Analytics group.

    Apply for the CI Pathways Training Program!

    CI Pathways is an innovative training program designed to help researchers effectively use advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) tools in their scientific work. These tools are essential for modern research, aiding in critical tasks such as efficient and large-scale data collection, analysis, and sharing. However, many researchers struggle to integrate these resources due to a lack of training, an environment for practice, and continued support. CI Pathways addresses this by offering a structured, cohort-based training program where participants learn alongside peers and receive guidance from experienced mentors.

     View the CI Pathways site for more information.
