Summit builds momentum for the future Chesapeake Global Collaboratory

On September 28-29, the Chesapeake Global Collaboratory (CGC) Summit was held at the Rita Rossi Colwell Center in Baltimore, MD. The summit aimed to engage diverse voices, with speakers and representatives from the public, private, nonprofit, and education sectors in attendance. The event kicked off with a series of compelling plenary speeches that set the stage for the profound conversations to come.

Following the plenary were two consecutive panelist sessions with distinguished groups of experts who shared their thoughts on innovative tools through cyberinfrastructure and broadening participation in cyberinfrastructure. Afterward, participants had the opportunity to delve deeper into those specific topics during breakout sessions. These breakout groups fostered meaningful exchanges of ideas, enabling attendees to network, share experiences, and collaborate on potential solutions.

The second day began with some opening remarks and was followed by another panelist session and breakout group, this time with a focus on actionable science and applying the theories discussed from the previous day. We thank everyone who participated in this event and who helped make it possible.
