The conference will be held at NCAR’s Center Green Campus in Boulder, Colorado from April 10-14. This year’s theme is “the future of software engineering in academic and research-based organizations”. The conference will feature three days of tutorials, and host discussions on topics such as data analysis and visualization, security and compliance, Agile software development, and emerging technology trends. The travel grant will include airfare, lodging, and meals for the entirety of the conference. Those interested in attending the conference can apply for a grant at the travel grant application webpage . Deadline for application is February 24, 2017.

The Climate and Global Dynamics Laboratory (CGD) at NCAR is offering travel scholarships for students interested in attending their CESM Tutorial. CESM is a fully-coupled, community, global climate model that provides state-of-the-art computer simulations of the Earth’s past, present, and future climate states. The tutorial is August 14-18.
