Cyberinfrastructure provides a foundation that supports teaching and research on college campuses—but how do we ensure faculty and researchers can fully leverage its potential? This keynote focuses on the critical role of community engagement and development in delivering on cyberinfrastructure’s promises. From workforce development strategies to proof-of-concept examples, Ana Hunsinger will reflect on key lessons learned from intentional community engagement strategies with MS-CC campuses to drive impactful research outcomes. She will share insights into effective strategies for fostering engagement among institutions to participate in and contribute to cyberinfrastructure, supporting researchers and educators in leveraging cyberinfrastructure, and building sustainable engagement strategies that drive long-term success.
