A Conference for Public Sector Computing
At Does it Compute we bring together practitioners,
researchers, and educators to discuss the
application of compute resources in their daily
activities. Expect talks from practitioners about
how they provide compute, sessions by researchers on
the way compute powers science, and presentations by
educators on how they employ compute and teach with
it.
Come and enjoy a day full of insights, perspectives,
and technical depth.
Tracks
Does it Compute? features three tracks that will allow you to deep dive into certain aspects of computing. The In Practice track features talks from maintainers and practitioners. The In Research track contains presentations from researchers on how the employ computing facilities to aid in their research goals. In the In Education track educators will speak on how their efforts are aided by compute facilities, and how their teaching environments are built.

Practical Information
Travelling to the Zernike Campus
The event will be held at the Feringa Building on the Zernike Campus in Groningen. The campus is most easily reached with public transit.The building is within a few minutes walk of the "Crematoriumlaan" bus stop, which has busses arriving every few minutes.For those coming by car there is limited parking available at parking lot P6. We would generally recommend parking at P+R Reitdiep and then taking a short busride. More information can be found on the campus information website on parking.
Ample bicycle parking is also available on campus for those arriving by bike or OV-fiets.
